St. Elizabeth Parish Church
Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
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.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Ta cerkev, zgrajena v 19. stoletju, je ena najstarejših apnenčastih cerkva na Jamajki. Njen 28 metrov visok zvonik se dviga nad mestom, notranjost pa prikazuje originalne lesene strope in mahagonijeve klopi, stare več kot 150 let.
Poudarki: Za težkimi kovanimi železnimi vrati se skrivajo redki vitraji, izdelani v Angliji v osemdesetih letih 19. stoletja, ki prikazujejo svetopisemske prizore v kobaltno modri in rubinasto rdeči barvi, ki zasijejo, ko popoldansko sonce posije skoznje. Črno-bela šahovnica marmornih tal je originalna od prve postavitve, vsaka praska na njeni površini hrani sledi tisočih korakov vernikov skozi šest generacij.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
