Friburgo does not have a cathedral like I have shown you in
Gramado in Southern Brasil or Tiradentes in the State of Minas Gerais.
But the area surrounding Friburgo has many small churches, unmarked with a denomination. They are likely to be Catholic, but unless you stop and go in looking for information there is nothing that tells you who worships here
Along the road to Casimiro de Abreu -
Nova Friburgo and Conego area of Nova Friburgo
Duas Barras
These small neighborhood churches are well maintained, loved and cared for. They are simple but have a design that is pleasing to the eye. They are often the geographic center of these small areas and often the social center as well. The white paper on the doors are notices of activities - concerts, festivals and the like.

ReplyDeleteWow, you have a really beautiful assortment here! I love the variety of churches you include.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous selection. Somehow they remind me of Iceland (where there's a tiny, spotless, new-looking church in every village)

ReplyDeleteHi Ginger,
ReplyDeleteWhen you see from the satellite that my volcanoes are blowing up, you will immediately despatch your fighter jets and rescue me? LOL
I am actually within a radius of 2 kilometers of 4 volcanoes. Crazy huh?
