Photo of the Day for September 9, 2014

Churches of Belarus (part LXXII):  Roman Catholic church of the Holy Trinity (1903), Hjervjaty 2014.  Касьцёлы Беларусі (частка LXXII):  касьцёл Сьвятой Тройцы (1903 г.), Гервяты 2014 г.

The splendid neo-Gothic church of the Holy Trinity in Hjervjaty has one of the tallest spires in Belarus.  One immediately feels the intense devotion of this Roman Catholic parish, a devotion reflecting the mixed Slavic-Baltic heritage of the Belarus-Lithuania borderlands.
