A Church in rural Quebec by radiogirl

A Church in rural Quebec

Churches in Quebec had some of the most elaborate structures in all of Canada. They were an extremely religious society. In the late 60's the french turned their backs on these magnificent structures and gave up religion. The reason for this wa the oppressiveness of the church and its connection to politics. Today these churches stand mostly unattended.

Thanks for stopping by, your comments and favs so appreciated.
Interesting history, hopefully someone will take over the churches!

What a lovely structure - reminds me of the Chapel at the University I went to - even to the setting - up the snowy hill. Like your pov.

Pretty shot! Too bad about them being forgotten though even though I understand how the two facets can be misappropriated if not handled wisely.

This has a lovely old-world feel about it Kathy, aided by the muted colours.
