A Roman Catholic Church in MauritiussteemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

Some photos of a Roman Catholic Church in Mauritius that I took in March 2017.

I don't know much of the history of this church but it made for some beautiful photos.

We did meet the priest whom is from Russia and he's been here for 33 years. That's really a long time for someone to be in a strange country even for a priest.

A statue outside the church which I found so sad but beautiful

Beautiful stain glass windows. A true art form

The church from the outside

I'm not Roman Catholic so I don't know if this is a Saint? 🤔

Old churches like these always creep me out for some reason lol! I'm catholic and one of the nuns that thought as at Holy Cross was from Mauritius and I always wondered how on earth did they even get a Nun there and how did she even get to Cape Town, I guess It's not such a weird journey is it? The catholic church is all over

😂 😂 😂 😂 You are too funny. That's a good story. I had a giggle now. How you keeping up? This Jessie has been a bit absent please accept my apologies. 😁
