I don’t know if people who say they don’t want Christian postcards include pictures of cathedrals or not, since they are usually architectural and historical gems as well as religious buildings. I err on the side of caution and send something else.
Lincoln Cathedral:
It depends on the people, I guess some people are irritated just by seeing a church picture. They have their reason. In France it would be difficult for them, there is a church in every village!
But I think rather that these people do not want to receive an image of Jesus Christ, a verse of the Bible etc.,
St Paul’s Cathedral, London, England, UK
Westminster Abbey, London, England, UK
Church of Western Indonesia Immanuel, or Blenduk Church in Semarang, Central Java.
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, also known as the Jakarta Cathedral.
Here is the church of an old abbey of Ossiach in Austria, founded around the year 1028.
A tombstone near the wall of the church gave rise to a legend, according to which King Boleslaus II of Poland (died around 1081), the assassin of Bishop Stanislaus of Krakow, would have found refuge with the brothers of Ossiach where he spent the rest of his life as a silent penitent, and would be buried there.
The church has been owned by the State of Carinthia since 1996.
Hello,
some cards that I have received or sent:
Taulumäki Church is the principal church of Jyväskylä city parish. The church was completed in 1929 according to plans drawn up by architect Elsi Borg. The church is known as the church of angels due to the many depictions of angels found there. The church, built in neoclassicist style, is a long church with a west tower over 30 metres in height.
Church in Benz/Insel Usedom
First building from the 13th century.
The furnishings include an altar from 1712 with six small, overpainted late Gothic carved figures (Peter, Elizabeth of Thuringia, the Evangelist John, John the Baptist and Catherine).
In 1836, the beamed ceiling was replaced by a wooden barrel vault, on which a coffered ceiling designed as a starry sky was painted in 1909, although no star is repeated.
The painter and Bauhaus master Lyonel Feininger often painted and drew the church.
The ceiling of the 2nd church is really interesting!
Madonna and Child:
The “Cunerakerk” is the main church of Rhenen, Netherlands. During the Middle Ages it was an important pilgrimage site.
It was a catholic church but since the Reformation in 1580 the Cunerachurch is in use by the Protestants.
Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church of Hakodate / 函館ハリストス正教会
