stunsworth Posted October 30, 2009 Share #2482 Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks Stuart, I knew those geography lessons would come in useful at some point. I'll post something a little later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted October 30, 2009 Share #2483 Posted October 30, 2009 My sincere apologies – this was too obscure. First the answer and then one less obscure: Soantanana. About 600 of the 1000 inhabitants of Soantanana belong to a religious sect called the Church of the Apostles. Founded in 1840, the church is dedicated to following the teachings of Jesus by doing charitable deeds and welcoming strangers. The members of the congregation dress daily in elegant white robes with long flowing lambas (shawls) and devote their lives to good deeds. As we began walking towards the church, congregants came over to introduce themselves and welcome us to the town. The town is set on a hilltop with spectacular views over the surrounding hills and valleys. As 9 am approached a procession of Apostles marched towards the church, singing a hymn in exquisite 7-part harmony. The service lasted about two hours punctuated by much more beautiful singing. After the service, we were invited to lunch and to have our feet washed. Since Jesus washed the feet of the apostles and urged them to wash the feet of others, church members prove that they are apostles by offering this service to visiting strangers. You can read a lot more detail in Barbara’s notes on our site. Now try this one. To win, all you need do is name the body of water. Extra points if you name the country, which is a minor hint. Two oak leaf clusters if you correctly tell about what is pictured. Fascinating story. Thank you Stuart! Amazing that you found that place! -------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted October 31, 2009 Share #2492 Posted October 31, 2009 Trogir? Sorry no. Time for a clue perhaps. We are not far from Venice, though the distance is shorter by sea. We are indeed in Croatia, and there is a UNESCO World heritage site in the town - in fact part of it can be seen in the photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
