Since I still have 8 days remaining for my flight back to Cebu, I decided to visit the Church located just a kilometer apart from my apartment, the Saint Martin Church.

St. Martin’s Church was originally a Romanesque church built in the 8th Century and consecrated in 769 AD. It was named after St. Martin, Bishop of Tours. The church was largely destroyed during the great fire of 1464 but it was rebuilt in the late Gothic style and reused parts of its Carolingian predecessor. Construction was completed in 1491 and it is the largest late-Gothic building in Graubünden.

This church in the Old Town, was a center and base for the Reformation in Church from 1523. Since 1969, the three glass windows by artist Augusto Giacometti have been a special feature of this church. They depict the Christmas story.

Even if I will attend to the mass in the church, it is still be useless since I can’t understand the language they will be using. They only used latin and german language for the mass. But atleast I am able to visit the Church by myself. :-)

Beautiful images! I'm glad you've enjoyed your holiday/vacation.
At least if they use the Latin mass, that is the same the world over.
Safe trip home.

Thank you @viking-ventures :)
It is so nice indeed!! I can't understand so much latin. So I decided not to attend huhuhu

lol - yeah, me neither. I attended a few times with a friend of mine who prefers the Latin mass. No, I couldn't understand a word of it, but it was still good. In one of these beautiful churches, it's still a very good excuse to stand in awe of beauty. :-)

Hahaha. Yeah! You are really right! :) Have you been here?

Nope, but I've been in beautiful churches before - and the best way to see them is to attend service. :)

Wow! Yeah, maybe I could do that too when I'll get home. :)
