Here is a side view of the 1896
St. John the Baptist Parish Church, better known locally as Pinaglabanan Church, showing the bell tower which is separate from the main church. You can also see here where its unusually-shaped but beautiful
stained glass window is.
A beautiful mean to measure time.

Very striking architecture...
ReplyDeleteDid you hear about the poor man who came to the priest and asked for some work and the priest, very busy, looked up at him quickly, then waved him off, saying, "Yes, yes, go clean the church bell and I'll pay you if you do a good job."
So the man climbed the bell tower but just as he was starting to clean the bell, it rang, knocking him in the head and out of the bell tower down to the ground where he expired.
Soon a crowd gathered around the body and people were asking who he was...the priest heard the commotion and walked outside to the group.
One of the women asked him, "Father, do you know this man?"
The priest looked the body over carefully, then said, "No, can't say that I do, but his face sure rings a bell!"
Sorry! Couldn't resist.
Interesting that the bell tower is detached... Nice architecture overall!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!
