    Lesley, your videos never cease to amaze me. Before it's torn down , I hope they remove all the relics and paintings.

    The priests room is called the sacristy. His house is a rectory. The nuns lived in a convent. In a hospital the nuns might have had the top floor. The statue was St. Joseph. You guys are so good. You made the Sign of the Cross correctly btw.

    Of all the Urbexers I have watched on TH-cam, you guys treat your subjects with the most love and sensitivity of all of them. Keep up the good work!

    Places like this SHOULD NOT be torn down. It's too bad it's not being restored.

      I think the Catholic religion is one of the most fake out there with great and wonderful and trusting people under a horrible controlling teaching but the churches are beautiful and should be saved.

    Stations of the Cross
    As Catholics, we know that every church has some representations of the story.

      I admit I'm not exactly a theologian, but I had a feeling they were the Stations of the Cross. 🙂

      The gold coloured door on the altar is the Tabernacle where the holy HOST was kept.

    Put your hand in the holy water name of the father , son and holy spirit while making the sign of the cross. No I’m not catholic but my mother was. All the pictures in the church are called the stations of the cross. This is the best church so far in your videos.

You are so respectful and come across as very kind to the building that you are exploring. 😊 keep making your videos I totally love them. I’ve always loved old homes and buildings and enjoy seeing them through your eyes. Thank you so much.

    It’s called “ The Stations of the Cross”. You are supposed to walk slowly between stations meditating on each one while saying the Rosary prayers.

    The sheep is "The lamb of God " a symbol of Jesus being the living sacrifice for us . Instead of us offering our most prized lamb for sacrifice to God . God gave us his most prized lamb.

    Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty. When I took Art History at University, the professor said churches were filled with paintings and religious icons that told many stories from the Bible because most people could not read. Days were filled with farming and there just wasn't time to learn or anyone to teach.

    That statue is St. Joseph holding Jesus as a child. That gold door in the middle of the altar is called the Tabernacle where the consecrated Hosts are kept. The sheep is the symbol of Christ being offered as a sacrifice as recorded in the Old Testament. The other with the eye is the symbol of the eye of God seeing all things. That room where the priest would dress is called the Sacristy. That painting with the dying man, is St Joseph the earthly father of Jesus.

      Owneee S
      There were many things i saw. When you feel things, as you probably know, this is Empathic energy. Although moving in all gifts, unless it's my own utube channel ... why go there.
      I saw the huge difference between the classes of ppl. There were visions of the poor, and the even poorer. Not Catholic myself i was listening to the tour, all the while I could hear crying, screaming and moaning. Just figured it was the ppl unhealthy and crying out in their belief system. Then we hit the hospital, blood everywhere, a smell of death... you get it. No, i didn't see any uniforms as in Nazis but, if you did... well done! There are many times i wander what type of paranormal experience they have as that is clear to see at times too. FYI, just so ppl know, the sign of triangles are not related to the Illuminati. It is related to a belief system although. This church needed a ritual or ceremony covering it and cleansing it... in my humble reading 🌟

    Hi Lesley, Excellent video! - I really like your church videos. They are always very special, and you show such a deep respect
    for the religion and the faith of a lot of people, when you are commenting, what you see in the church. The stations of the cross
    in that church are quite dramatically shaped, but very well made. Also the other items in the church are beautiful. - Of course you
    surprised me once more in a very "pleasant" way, when you were intonating that church song. - Wow! - You are even a great
    singer, - hopefully! Are you planing a new career as a "Kantor"? Then I just think, you still require a little more practise. - Hahaha! -
    Your brother was doing a great job too with the camera. - So thank you once more for a wondeful video. Looking forward to
    your next ones. - Blessings and peace to you. - Kindest regards from Switzerland.

    It would be cool to find an abandoned castle and see if there is any treasure or artefacts though they would probably be looted already and you would probably have to turn it in. You should restore this church.

  • @tamarrajames3590
    @tamarrajames3590 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was a stunning example of its type, I think the best chapel you have done so far. I’m not Catholic, but the carved story is called “The Stations of the Cross”, worshippers are meant to meditate on the trials and sufferings by praying at each station. It is so sad that it will be destroyed, there is so much beauty that will be lost forever. Thank you for sharing this with us>🖤🇨🇦

    This is so very sad to think it will be torn down. Way too many wonderful buildings and especially ones with the worship and good memories left behind being destroyed.

Did want to let you know that the thin gold circles around heads are called halos and represent the person is holy.
