Happy Friday Hivers!
I have came across another ancient church somewhere in Negros Oriental. Are you ready to see the design inside and out? Let's begin the virtual tour.
The town of Amlan Negros Oriental is just a small town with a few numbers of ancient buildings located in the North of Dumaguete City. This town takes approximately 30 minutes of travel from Dumaguete City.
As I walked along the street in Amlan, Negros Oriental, I sighted this adorable ancient church. It is erected in the heart of the town.
For those who have read my previous blogs, I constantly mentioned that I like to take photos of the ancient structures. When I saw this adorable ancient church while walking, I immediately went inside the church compound. Even just in a simple glimpse you would immediately recognize that this church was founded long time ago because of its structure.
This stone coral church of St. Andrew the Apostle that still stands today is founded in year 1880. It is now a 142 year-old church.
As I checked the doors, all of the doors were closed. I went to the adjacent building and asked someone if they could allow me to get inside the church. The elder man who introduced himself as Kuya Mario accompanied me. He opened the church door without any words. He told me to get inside after he successfully opened it.
As I entered, the old hanging chandelier caught my attention. Kuya Mario told me that the chandelier is also one of the old stuffs you can see inside the church.
I took a closer photo so that you will be able to see the old chandelier. Unlike the other churches, this church has no biblical paintings painted on the ceiling. They just painted it with white color paint.
According to Kuya Mario, since this church was built, the only part being renovated was the ceiling. They repaired the damage ceiling, painted it and the wall, this is to bring something back to life.
After I checked the inner part of the church, I went outside and I appreciated Kuya Mario for letting me see the different things inside. Same as the other churches, the church wall outside is made up of bricks. Have you clearly seen it?
