Painted Church in Praha, TX

At the time when I lived in Europe, I did not an opportunity to visit Prague in the Czech Republic or earlier, when it was Czechoslovakia. However, last summer, we did go to Praha in Texas.

 

The St. Mary's of the Assumption church is our most favorite one of all the painted churches we have seen so far.

It was built in 1895, painted by Gottfried Flury, who was an artist of Swiss origin.

 

Just to let you see some of the church interior.

The St. Mary's was the third painted church we visited on that day. Outside the church, there is a lovely little place dedicated to Holy Mary.

After the visit and the spiritual and esthetic experience we also visited the ones who were buried at the local cemetery. 

Then, it was finally time to play in the church yard!

After that, we went to see the Texas Czech Culture and Heritage Place in La Grange. However, more about that another time, in a different post.
