Remarkably beautiful artwork. at first I thought you were going to say you had found the real-life inspiration for Jan Karon's book about the mountain church (which Fr. Tim helped to renew). Nevertheless, this story is very interesting.

I would much prefer a church that size to the big "first" church I attend. But then, we stepped inside for the tour, and WOW. This is just a feast for the eyes. I love the empty stool in the fresco for all of us.

We tell ourselves every year we are going to the NC mountains to see the leaves and scenery and life seems to get in the way. I look forward to fall every year. Our leaves are just showing the first bit of color but with the winds from Sandy, they are going to be stripped off the trees before they change completely.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398643098588491009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-27342760806947990002012-10-28T23:28:26.086-04:002012-10-28T23:28:26.086-04:00That is a beautiful fresco, full of so many images...That is a beautiful fresco, full of so many images that tell Jesus' story.

What a great trip for you and thank you for sharing these treasures with us. The frescoes and your commentary were so moving and made the scriptures come alive and inspire us. Such a beautiful arrangement under the altar- I love it.<br /><br />Hope the storm will not affect you.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559612002837383953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-7267267292060777102012-10-28T16:39:46.783-04:002012-10-28T16:39:46.783-04:00What a beautiful church, and such gorgeous scenery...What a beautiful church, and such gorgeous scenery.
