Chandelier + Angel
Look up, when you get inside, and you’ll be rewarded by a lovely painted ceiling, with puffy clouds and an angel. And a chandelier.

The Placid Space
When we were leaving this church, a man from down the road drove up on his riding lawnmower to see if we were the people who were supposed to come give an estimate on repainting the place. (It needed it.)
Then we had a chat, because it’s Texas and we’re friendly and all that stuff. He said he and his wife had traveled to Russia and China and Europe. It made our day’s journey from College Station to Lubbock seem mundane. But I bet in all his travels he never saw a church quite as lovely as the one right there, flooded with sunlight, with muffled road noises and racks of worn hymnals and a bug on the Bible.

Outside the hallowed walls
I like stained glass windows. I like them a lot.
But this was nice, too, the way regular life was still visible through to church’s clear glass windows.

I located this simple tableaux in the church’s bell tower.

Cyril and Methodius (and their church)
In addition to their cemetery, the brother saints Cyril and Methodius have a church.
I can’t even tell you how much I like to find a church with an unlocked door…
