150 Churches in Paris and elsewhere

Situated just opposite the crêperie, this 17th century church boasts a lovely perspex altar table and contrasting swirly old pulpit. The stations of the cross are paintings, which is not a common option, and there are actual relics of Saint Cornély himself. Now, Saint Cornély, allegedly pope during the third century and persecuted by the Roman emperor at the time is, I am told, the best-known of the saints whose task is to protect cattle. The legend has it that he was fleeing from Roman soldiers and was backed into a corner. So he turned the soldiers into stone, as you would. For centuries, every September there was a ceremony to bless horses at this church.  In the back of the church there is a feature "hammer in one of these nails and make a donation, please". The town of Carnac is better known for its 2900 standing stones, dating from around 6500 years ago, and a UNESCO world heritage site.

I got to Jerusalem three years back, before the present phase of the genocidal war on Palestine. This small church is located inside the Austrian hospice, and seems to have had some link with the Hungarian royal family from way back when.  There is a representation of the finding of Jesus in the temple - that scene from Luke where Mary and Joseph lose Jesus in some shop and then find him in the temple busy teaching the old sages stuff. It is rare to see a watercolour calvary scene, and the one in this church is fine.
