St. Elizabeth Parish Church
Best time to visit
Posjetite poslijepodne između 15.00 i 16.00 kada sunčeva svjetlost ulazi kroz vitraže i stvara efekat obojene svjetlosti na mramornom podu. Nedjeljom ujutro je također posebno jer se zvona još uvijek zvone za misu u 07.00.
Budget tips
Ne postoji službena ulaznica, ali dobrovoljni prilog od oko 500 JMD (otprilike 5.000 IDR) za održavanje crkve je veoma cijenjen. Ponesite sitan novac jer u blizini crkve nema bankomata.

About
Quick facts: Built in the 19th century, this church is one of the oldest limestone churches in Jamaica. Its 28-meter-tall bell tower rises above the city, while the interior features original wooden ceilings and mahogany pews that are more than 150 years old.
Highlights: Behind the heavy wrought iron door lies a rare stained glass window made in England in the 1880s depicting biblical scenes with cobalt blue and ruby red that glow when the afternoon sun shines through it. The black and white checkered marble floor is still original since it was first installed, every scratch on its surface holding the traces of thousands of footsteps of the congregation over six generations.
Insider tips
- Najbolje fotografije mogu se napraviti sa bočne strane crkve, a ne s prednje strane, jer se zvonik savršeno vidi na pozadini plavog karipskog neba.
- Sjednite u treću klupu s prednje strane kako biste imali najbolji ugao za pogled na vitraže bez smetnji drvenih stubova.
- Posjetite radnim danima za mirnije iskustvo jer vikendom često budu vjenčanja ili krštenja.
- Zatražite dozvolu od crkvenog čuvara da vidite zvonik na gornjem spratu, pogled na krovove grada Black River s vrha crkve je prilično zanimljiv.
