St. Elizabeth Parish Church
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Visit in the late afternoon between 3:00-4:00 PM when sunlight streams through the stained glass windows and creates a colorful light effect on the marble floor. Sunday morning is also special because the bells are still rung for mass at 7:00 AM.
Eelarvenõuanded
There is no official entrance fee, but a voluntary donation of around 500 JMD (Rp 5,000) for church maintenance is greatly appreciated. Bring small cash because there are no card machines near the church.
Soovitatav
Fans of classical architecture, Enthusiasts of old building photography, Travelers seeking peace and quiet, Culture and history travelers

Teave
Kiired faktid: 19. sajandil ehitatud kirik on üks Jamaica vanimaid lubjakivikirikuid. Selle 28 meetri kõrgune kellatorn kõrgub linna kohal, samas kui interjööris on originaalsed puidust laed ja üle 150 aasta vanad mahagonist pingid.
Esiletõstmised: Raskete sepistatud rauduste taga peituvad haruldased Inglismaal 1880. aastatel valmistatud vitraažaknad, mis kujutavad piiblistseene koobaltsinise ja rubiinpunase värviga, mis süttivad, kui pärastlõunane päike neid valgustab. Mustvalge malelauamustriga marmorpõrand on originaalne alates selle paigaldamisest, iga kriimustus selle pinnal hoiab tuhandete koguduseliikmete sammude jälgi läbi kuue põlvkonna.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- The best photos can be taken from the church side courtyard, not from the front, because the bell tower looks perfect against the blue Caribbean sky.
- Sit on the third row bench from the front to get the best viewpoint of the stained glass windows without obstruction from wooden pillars.
- Visit on a regular weekday for a calmer experience because weekends often have wedding or baptism ceremonies.
- Ask the church caretaker for permission to see the bell room on the upper floor; the view of the Black River city rooftops from the top of the church is quite interesting.
