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.
For the Blogging from A to Z April 2024 Blogging Challenge my theme is Gods' Houses. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Gods' Houses from my digital albums.
As we look at these
Exteriors we see that Gods' Houses come in all shapes and sizes and from modest to magnificent. Images of mosques will be missing from this post as I have already exhausted my supply of those images in my
M is for Mosques and Minarets post.

ReplyDeleteIt stood out in a rather untidy and grubby sity
DeleteI can't choose a favourite here Jill. I often wonder how these buildings were built back when they didn't have the tools or technology of today. It always amazes me.
ReplyDeleteI think back to reading Pillars of the Earth
DeleteA clever manipulation of X, Jill. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks May. I'm pleased Z is a piece of cake
DeleteIt's sad to see abandoned and crumpling churches. I think of the people that used to gather there and how important a part of their life it was. And now they and it are both/all gone.
ReplyDeleteSadly times have changed and not so many people are involved in formsl religion
ReplyDeleteI love looking at the architecture of churches. I really like Old Kilchoman Parish Church - Abandoned in the Isle of Islay, Scotland.
ReplyDeleteThat was a family church prior to the 19th century clearances in Scotland.
