Chiesa di Santa Croce, Parma

Well, we finally got into this church.  It’s closed most of the time.  But this day it was open–and packed with people.  We didn’t realize it was the day of first communion for many children, a very big deal in the Catholic faith, and the place was wall-to-wall people.  I got a few shots after the service before they shut off the lights and closed the door.  You never know what you will see inside churches that look like they are falling apart on the outside.

The inspiration of man is a phenomenal proceeding that is manifest in the context of this world… even as it stands in its present state.

Wow! I’d like to see a picture of the outside since you mentioned it.
Thank you for your pictures. We don’t travel outside of the US and even if we did, I wouldn’t think to explore the same things that interest you. So it’s a real treat for me when you share your photography.

Just Wow. 😊
