Teave

Kiired faktid: Selle kiriku kellad helisesid 1872. aastal kuninganna sünnipäeval ja kellade hulgas on ka 1200-kilone kell. Kirik elas üle 1907. aasta laastava maavärina, mis tegi maatasa suurema osa Kingstonist.

Esiletõstmised: Kiriku põranda all puhkavad endiste orjade ja lugupeetud koloniaalperekondade säilmed, mis teeb sellest ruumist elava Jamaica ajaloo arhiivi. Kui astute sisse, tungib päikesevalgus läbi vitraažide ja loob värvilisi varje lubjakiviseintel, mis on rohkem kui kaks sajandit vanad.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Wear light cotton clothing and bring water, as there is no air conditioning inside and humidity can be high.
The best shot for a photo is from the back pew at a 45-degree angle toward the altar.
The stained glass depicting biblical scenes is most detailed in the morning hours when the sun hits directly.
Skip the midday visits on Saturdays as preparations for weddings begin and the church is closed to tourists.
