FEB 28, 13 .. PONDICHERRY'S CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ..

Because of the enormous influence of the French in Pondicherry .. the French East India Company actually founded 'Pondi' .. it is not surprising that there are several Christian Churches here in 'Pondi'!

There are three, major, Christian Churches in the French section of 'Pondi'.  I am going to show you two of them.  The third church is The Church of Notre Dame des Anges.   Interestingly enough this third church is called  'Kaps' Church from The Church of the Capuchins.  I will show you a number of  photos of 'Kaps' church in a future post.


The first photo below is a photo of The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.  It is what I would call a traditional Roman Catholic Church similar to many you will find in France.  Note its heavy and imposing and  'somber nature'!  It IS majestic!


Now take a look at The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church!  OH MY!   What a difference!  If you want a happy and a colorful church .. feast your eyes on the below photos!



I could NOT get far enough away from the Church to capture it in its entirety in one photo.  Below is a photo of the upper part of the Church!



IF you are ready for a photo of the inside .. just look below!
  
Some of the local Hindi folks that I have spoken with seem to be really impressed and delighted  with the colorful and joyous nature of the Church!  


I really enjoyed the Church because it seems like a very HAPPY PLACE!  Knowing some of the history of 'The Church' in France .. coming out of hundreds of years of heavy Gothic stone churches .. look at the first photo above .. the 'weight' and the 'somber darkness' you see in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception .. I am amazed at the color and joy found in The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church!
