We took a look at some of P.A.'s church architecture yesterday. I took many pictures. Many. There are other church structures too, in the city, but I shall have to save those for another photo outing.

People have a great need to reach to the heavens in praise of God...perhaps to be nearer to him or to attempt to touch him somehow.

It also calls us to be aware of His presence amongst us. The crosses and the edifices are prominently situated to enable us to see those reminders.

The cross of Christ. It can be an offence to some....but an offering of life to others.

To me, it brings life and hope and love.

The architecture is truly magnificent and a great human attempt at praising God.

(I can't imagine what I'd be like in a huge European city with Mr. Olympus around my neck!)
