The Holy Ones

    Newer Older

    These are the venerated ones! Their grisly visages encased in dark oil paints to keep this part of the inner cloister feeling rather dismal.

    I looked and did not see a lot of women up there at all. I also didn't see any heiro-clergy holding a fluffy white cat like a Bond villain. That would have made my day... but, alas... nothing quite so interesting as all of them solemnly looking across the way at one another, and down at whoever has scuttled in on their knees.

      This is a very strange layout for a sanctuary--chairs along the two long walls of a narrow room, facing each other with a table in the center. Is this room really used for church services? That would be awkward. I think everyone would be looking either up at the pictures or down at the floor to avoid staring into the face of the person across from you. You know, much like people do on the El in Chicago when they're sitting in the seats near the door that face each other. But perhaps that is the point of intention of this layout, as most of historical church architecture and design has specific intentions. How interesting. Where is this church?
