The most beautiful catholic church in Korea

in #culture7 years ago (edited)

It is said that the most beautiful catholic church is Kongseri church. I recommended my mom to visit Kongseri catholic church. Before I had finished my word, she said “OK”.

It took about 2 hours to the church by car. As soon as arriving, she ran to the church. Even she didn’t listen my word “let’s go together, I need to park”
I could only take a photo of her from behind.

I followed her. The scene to the church was beautiful.

Especially the tree in front of the church was excellent. People were resting there.

Finally Church.

My mom ran into the church for MASS

While waiting for her, I took several photos.

The church was really beautiful.
Let me show you the beauty of the church.

The church was really awesome.

I strongly recommend to visit Kongseri church.
Your religion is another matter in my guess.

When taking the photos, one question hit my head.
What make this church beautiful ?

The church ?
Yes, That’s right. The church was really awesome.
But if there wasn’t nature, the artificial thing was no matter.

Even though there is the most beautiful building, without Nature nothing is beautiful.

Thank you for reading.

I want to thank you for this lovely post. This is why I love Steemit. Because of you and others like you, we get to see amazing and interesting places that would not be possible for most of us to get to see in our lifetimes.
And you have done well. Very well, in fact. So much detail in what you have shown to us. You always try in your posts, to include as much about your subject as you can. Most of the questions are answered before they can originate. With your great photos and words, not much left to ask about.
Thank you again. For showing to all of us Steemians, what some of us have a longing for.
Harmony of nature and in this case, spiritual together.

Francis

Thank you for your warm word

@slowwalker
You are so kind. You make the world a much better place to live in. Especially for me.
I am humbled by your kindness.
Thank you

Francis

I'm for my friends, my dear ones, I pray to God.
Send them strength, good luck and health
And do not leave them at the most difficult hour.
Bless, and give love,
So that the smile does not come off the eyes.
That the house was a cup full and beautiful,
To avoid the clouds,
To the Motherland has always been beloved,
And friendship remained a road.
And let the friends are scattered around the world,
Everyone will find my prayer,
And entering the house like the first ray of dawn
With a blessed blessing will bring.

thank you :)

That church looks really great, I didn't even know there were big churches like this in Korea.

Another interesting post this is. I'm a minnow myself, and still checking out all the good stuff here on Steemit. It's all so interesting! Looking forward to interacting and posting a lot of cool, valuable stuff here.

I will be posting my 'IntroduceYourself' post shortly. Just waiting for my vid from Big Mike…(really excited!)

thank you
I am waiting for your posting

I call such places - places of spiritual power! Thank you for your interesting story
@slowwalker!

Thank you for readig as always

Great pictures @slowwalker, especially whenever you've been in Korea before and know how seldom such beautiful buildings are. Mostly you may find some modern or simple ones but those old beautiful buildings are really very rare.

Hahaha
It is not easy to find the beauty at any case

But it's as well not that hard in Korea in case you're not looking at old catholic churches in particular. I've been to Seoul & Busan for some weeks some time back and just loved it. Korea is really an awesome place in case you don't get too much Soju at once 😉

Nature, best spot to erect a church. I am a Catholic as well and would like to visit this churches and say some prayers. This is the Caleruega Church we visited last February when we went out of town.

Thank you so much

I like this post very much, my friend. I was so moved to see the fervent devotion of your mother hurrying to go inside the church.

You saw the beauty of the building, but you also saw the sacred nature of the surroundings.

I think the large tree outside the church was a symbol of endurance, like your mother's faith. As old as the church was, I think that tree was older. From the size of the trunk I think it was more than 200 yrs. old.

When I go out into the forest I feel I'm also in a sacred place - a green cathedral.

A lovely post, @slowwalker :)

Thank you so much

You are right,religion don't matter,it won't stop us to being there to visit the nicee church.And I think that Nature not only makes the place looks great,but also our life beautiful.Can't imagine when this world has no more trees or else,it must be terrible.We have the responsibility to protect nature.
Thanks for sharing such a nice place.

A very beautiful church! I live far and can not see it with my own eyes. I would really like to see, despite the fact that I'm a Christian Old Believer.

slowwalker 님 덕분에 좋은 것들을 많이 배웁니다.
한국에 살면서도 이런 곳이 있다는 것도 몰랐네요.
관심이 적어서 그랬나 봅니다. 관심 좀 가져야겠어요.
경치가 정말 좋네요.~

Magnificent church with wonderful scenery! Great wordings! I absolutely agree with your statement;

"if there wasn’t nature, the artificial thing was no matter"
"Even though there is the most beautiful building, without Nature nothing is beautiful"

Thank you so much

With my great pleasure! ;)

It's so nice to see your mom's curiosity and joy in seeing this church . It reminds me of that we Can find extra ordinary beauty in some ordinary places. It is indeed a beautiful church . I wish we could enjoy beauty of nature each day of our lifes

Thank you so much

This is such a beautiful church and the nature around it. Somehow we feel we can have a more sincere worship experience in this type setting. Thanks for the beautiful pictures and post.

Thank you so much

@slowwalker those are wonderful pictures! Great find!

Thank you 😉

thanks for sharing, I am for sure too old to visit it, no way to take any more a plane due to some problems, but so happy to be able to see this nice church in this virtual way. I will follow your posts

I didn't suspect that you guys can have there a Catholic church! it's stunning! thank you for sharing this with us! :)

Really, very beautiful

Had to laugh so hard with the story of your mom! She must have been very excited to go, and it's actually really nice you took her there!

The nature over there is amaaaaaaaaazing! The church building itself has its charms as well but I think it's the environment that stood out!

I'm really curious to see how it looked inside! Do you have any pictures of that?

Thanks for the share and give that awesome mom of yours a big hug from the Steemit community mkay! :p

Very good post. If you want a mental balance, then you have to go to church. I wanted to share church photographs from Ukraine. Church - a community for the testimony of faith through love.

I really want to visit Ukrane

Not really impressed by the building itself, but that tree next to it is actually pretty nice!
