Pretty cool.

Many will know of this one, but it is neat to see/visit. St Mary's in Plantersville, TX ('the painted church').



(Yes, they have a periodic quilt show stilI I think).

Some cool older ones in Texas to see/visit are at this link;

Here are 5 cool ones I'd like to get to some day in South America.

My son is getting married in this church in July.

That's cool. It's a very pretty place, not over-done/imposing etc. Not that there is anything wrong with such structures for a house of worship;

What is that?

I don't even know what great cathedral that is, it just had popped up on my x.com history thread and I was going to put it here anyway.

This is the interior of St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Vienna, Austria.
The distinctive features that give it away are:
The extremely tall, ribbed Gothic vaulting with the colorful octagonal lantern/tower visible at the top center.
The famous multicolored tiled roof visible through the high windows (a hallmark of Stephansdom).
The characteristic layout and stone pulpit in the nave.
It's the most important church in Vienna and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. The photo is taken looking eastward from the nave toward the high altar.

A year ago today we stopped in Saint Xavier Mission a lovely place. I picked up a Rosary there that has been my got Rosary since.

In Rome, went to Evening Vespers here tonight.



The minor Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere was originally one of the tituli, the parish churches of palaeochristian Rome. It was, according to tradition, the first church in Rome where Mass was celebrated openly.
It was probably built by Pope Julius I (337-352), as he is on record as having built a basilica trans Tiberim. Limited archaeological investigations recently under the Altemps Chapel, as well as epigraphic evidence, has established a mid-4th century foundation date as being fairly sound.
However, tradition claims that it may have been built soon after Pope St Callixtus' death in 222 [url=https://romanchurches.fandom.com/wiki/Santa_Maria_in_Trastevere#cite_note-1][1][/url]. According to tradition, that pope was martyred near this place, where the church of San Callistonow stands, and it was imagined that the basilica stands on the site of his house-church. There is no historical evidence for this, although the pope's residence was probably close by. He was buried in the Catacomb of Calepodius on the Aurelian Way, and Pope Julius built a basilica there dedicated to him.

The columns are thought to have been salvaged from the Baths of Caracala, which makes them around 1,800 years old.

The sung prayers and organ playing were beautifully done.

Very cool. Thx.

Came across this one today online;

Tucked away in Smar Jbeil, Batroun District, Saydet el Maounet is one of the oldest churches in Lebanon 🇱🇧 , dating back to the 6th century.

Surrounded by silence, and nature, this historic church is a powerful reminder of Lebanon's rich architecture, and timeless landscapes. pic.twitter.com/sGFf0jlYc6

La Chiesa del Gesu (Church of Jesus), a Jesuit church in Rome. The first picture is of a "Baroque Machine",which is a contraption that drops the portrait of St Ignatius down to reveal a statue of St. Ignatius.
