What a beautiful church, I’m not religious in the slightest but I love visiting churches and cathedrals.Morning all,
A 6.1 this morning and as our virtual cruise nears its end we find ourselves in Kotor Montenegro! A place with much charm and legend as we pull into the harbour and swing round, it looks amazing. Trying to fit a lot in today so a morning tour around the sights of the town and an afternoon visit to 'our lady of the rocks' .
This famous chapel was build it was said by local sailors.
Apparently, the story goes back to July 1452 when two sailors were returning home, one with a badly injured leg. As they were passing a rocky outcrop, something caught their eye, its was an icon of the Virgin Mary and Child which they took home.
The following day the sailors leg was miraculously healed! They vowed to build a church where they found the icon but it wasn't big enough so each trip, all the sailors would bring back boat-loads of rocks and 32 years later they had built the chapel there today! Amazing!!
Must remember to wear appropriate clothing as I don't want to upset the locals. Will be 32 degrees today at midday. Phew!
Blessings Snowwy
When did you sneak that in? Congratulations. 🙂Hello everyone. A house special of 5.2 this morning 🙂
Oh me too. I can’t wait to go down to St Davids again, the cathedral is beautiful - once the Covid dust has settled! I might even take a sketch book and do some rubbish scribbles LOL.What a beautiful church, I’m not religious in the slightest but I love visiting churches and cathedrals.
Oh very daring! Enjoy the churches. We quite often only appreciate things as we get older. I wouldn’t have set foot in a church when I was younger unless it was for a wedding/ funeral etc.Morning all, 5.7 here. Greatly daring, planning a trip to London today. We love just wandering round different bits.Today we are planning to hunt out some of the Wren churches, built after the Great Fire along with St. Paul’s. They are all hidden amongst the modern city tower blocks these days, and when I lived and worked in London I never really noticed them.
