À propos

Faits rapides: Zvona sa ove crkve oglašavala su se 1872. godine na kraljičin rođendan, a među zvonima se nalazi i ono od 1.200 kilograma. Crkva je preživela razorni zemljotres 1907. godine koji je sravnio veći deo Kingstona sa zemljom.

Points forts: Sous le plancher de l'église reposent les restes d'anciens esclaves et de familles coloniales éminentes, faisant de cet espace une archive vivante de l'histoire jamaïcaine. Lorsque vous entrez, la lumière du soleil traverse les vitraux et crée des ombres colorées sur les murs calcaires vieux de plus de deux siècles.

Conseils d'initiés

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.
