O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Zvonovi te cerkve so se oglasili leta 1872 na kraljičin rojstni dan, med njimi pa je tudi tisti, težak 1200 kilogramov. Cerkev je preživela uničujoči potres leta 1907, ki je zravnal večji del Kingstona z zemljo.

Poudarki: Pod cerkvenimi tlemi počivajo posmrtni ostanki nekdanjih sužnjev in uglednih kolonialnih družin, kar ta prostor dela živi arhiv jamajške zgodovine. Ko vstopite, sončna svetloba prodira skozi vitraže in ustvarja pisane sence na apnenčastih stenah, starih več kot dve stoletji.

Notranji nasveti

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.
