Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places we visited there was, on our agendas, an Abbey, Cathedral, Chapel, Church, Convent, Monastery, Mosque, Pagoda, Synagogue, Temple or other place of worship. As we travel along the road I often take snaps of God's houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious.
Finding themes for this K post was as difficult for me as on the rare occasions I attend a service and find myself
Kneeling on hard wooden
Kneelers. I have taken the liberty of adding images of people who don't kneel when paying reverence to their Gods.

My paternal grandmother was not particularly religious but she embroidered many kneelers for the chapel of my brother's school on Canberra
ReplyDeleteI hope they are still in use today. We had no such comfort in our school chapel.
DeleteIt would be nice to think they were still in use. I must try and find out.
DeleteThe only kneelers I have knelt on were bare wood. I couldn't do it now with these old knees.
ReplyDeleteI hear you, I do a sort of pseudo kneel with my rear planted firmly on the pew.
DeleteLovely kneelers here Jill. I’m sorry to say that I’ve never had such comfort as a kneeler.
ReplyDeleteThose are poignant photos of Ypres.
ReplyDeleteGiven that ANZAC Day is just around the corner the kneeler from Ypres was appropriate.
