Religious. Early Days in Barbados.

One of the most interesting things I did in Barbados was going on a historical tour. We stopped at several places (that I will show you over time), but one of the most impressive was a church. Claimed to be one of the first churches on the island, it was full of character and style, old British style.

I adored the grand church and think of how magnificent it must have been in its prime. The lot was full of tome stones dating back to the 1800s and there were two glorious mahogany trees there claiming to be over 100 years old. Unfortunately though, the third old tree on the lot fell earlier this year. They expect one of the other two may die in the next five as well. I hope it can hang in there. It just adds so much to the church. Too bad this church and those trees can’t tell us more stories. I bet they have seen so much…
