O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
O come, let us adore Him…
Yep it’s a Christmas song and trust me when I say I am so not ready for snow. But the name of this BREATHTAKING church and cemetery just puts this song in my heart.
BETHLEHEM CHURCH sits by itself on a gravel road in the middle of who knows where Saskatchewan. Something about this place just takes your breath away as you approach it.
It is very peaceful there. Only one vehicle went by the whole time we were there. Bethlehem was built in 1906. I can just picture pulling up for church on Sunday and hearing the voices ring out as the old hymns were being sung.
The love and care that went into building this place and still goes into it by whoever cares for it is very evident. The cemetery grass is nicely mowed and the trees haven’t overtaken the church.
One of my favourite parts of this church is the round windows at the top. The talent the builders of this church had as they made round windows when building with stone is unbelievable.
As you walk towards the cemetery a beautiful angel monument catches my eye as it seems to be overlooking/guarding this amazing place.
My hope for this place is it lasts for many more years. And I hope that anyone that does find it gives it the respect that it deserves and that they take a moment to just enjoy the peace this wonderful place offers.
