I wonder how far people had to travel from one village to another to go to church.<br /><br />Natasha, the Methodist church had hanging stained glass chandeliers, perhaps a dozen the length of the sanctuary. They didn't give off much light and when they had evening events it was more like a candle-light room. I don't think they had the lights on during church on Sundays.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-72342699504453223692010-10-18T21:30:42.873-04:002010-10-18T21:30:42.873-04:00Interesting to have so many churches for such a sm...Interesting to have so many churches for such a small town. The Methodist one sounds wonderful with the stained glass windows. Did they keep the lights off on Sunday to have light from the windows illuminate the inside?Natasha and Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454014270247663146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-46158788447630380632010-10-18T04:31:33.168-04:002010-10-18T04:31:33.168-04:00Hi Nancy,it is an interesting post.

Some villages were catholic and some were protestant.The protestant villages had only a protestant church and if there were people of the other faith they had to go to the next village to worship. Perhaps today it is different.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.com
