Windows around the world

[vera_j]

The snow is gone, it was falling at night but now it is 1,5°C above zero and raining.  As you probably know a view from my west-looking window, that with a pond, I made one picture from our north- looking one. You can see a Baroque small chapel, very uncommon design. It is protected as a precious one. A row of small trees in our future hornbeam fence. The pic taken at 14.20 approx.

Ah. True, our wayside shrines are in plenty here but this one is is actually a substitution for a church building. Our village is tiny, only 97 people, and in the past it belonged to a wealthy landlords of Schwarzenberg family ( our minister of foreign affairs is a descendant). The nearest church was 8 km and this structure was quite suitable for "keeping a decorum".
Um... Czech people were among the first reformers of the Church in the time of Schisma (3 Popes), accepted some ideas from John Wycleff and used them for a new view of the church which wanted to return to the Bible and a purity ( and poverty) of the Church. It led to a so called Hussite Revolution in 15th century. Very complex but very interesting - and vey Czech.

That is a Chapel of Ease, we have an other thing in common, only our chapel that gave the village it's name was demolished in the 1970s just before it fell down due to disrepair.

Really! I love our exchange of our similarities and differences!
