Churches and Lunenburg

Good bye lovely Indian Harbor, thanks for the wonderful memories. Yes, sometimes the wind doesn't co-operate for a photo shoot but we had fun trying.

So, what about all those photos of churches??? Literally every little tiny town has several of them with steeples that rise above the tree line. They are quite old, fairly small, some with ornate architecture, and range from Catholic to Anglican to Baptist.

This Anglican Church in Lunenburg is not only beautiful inside and out but also has an interesting story about it. It houses a rare copy of what is known as the "Vinegar Bible".  Printed in 1717, it  contains a typographical error in Luke 20 where Jesus tells a parable concerning workers being sent into the Lord's vineyard. However the typo sends the workers not into the "vineyard" but into the "vinegar". Twelve bibles were printed before they caught the error and the rarity of these bibles has made them valuable and world famous. 

 Picturesque Lunenburg is a port town with narrow streets lined with colorful historical homes dating back to the 1700's. Shops and restaurants line the harbor as well as a memorial honoring lost seamen for over 100's of years. I was moved by this tribute.

For lunch, Tom placed our fish and chips order with this gal but Lorraine's the one who delivered the goods. 

Beer battered haddock, yum!
