Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places 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.
The
Virgin Mary is venerated in some Christian religions as the mother of Jesus Christ. She is recognised in Gods' Houses by sculptures, paintings and other artworks. She is often portrayed holding a baby Jesus.
