-=Beautiful church!=-

 I sometimes wonder:  Why is it that I have never seen a parish like this in Korea?



(source: Robert Koehler, the Marmot's Hole)

What fascinates me is the fact that it looks like a Tridentine Rite is celebrated here regularly.  It has altar rails, and even a high altar (without the novus ordo altar!).  Yet at the same time, the Korean writing on the ceiling blends in very nicely with the atmosphere unlike virtually every post-Vatican II built parish in Korea. 

See Old Churches of Korea's Catholic Heartland at the Marmot's Hole for more great pictures.
