Does Kelly Green Go With A White Or Black Shirt

Exploration: Christ Church

Title: St. Julian of Norwich in Mexico
Location: Section 123, Downtown (near Chinese palace)
exploration Author: Brainwashed Poet.

This time it was and was walking around Chinatown in Mexico City. Stepping business failures, dirty bars and depressing building I found a parish with collapsed roofs, ie it is only the facade. Despite being ruined his garden was care, also had a new sign that said "Santa Juliana of Norwich " funny name, very English for a chapel in Chinatown. Well Dona Juliana (pictured below with that classic style that is painted by the saints, as someone who wants to throw a fart but do not want noise-) was a mystical XIV century English Benedictine (translation : nun who believed in Christ to see her panties), drafted her revelations in a manuscript called "Revelations of Divine Love " , which, incidentally, can be read in one of its passages, the following statement: " As is true that God is our Father, God really is our Mother." was a passionate suffering, every day asking three wishes: 1) feel deeply the passion of Christ (!), 2) serious illness to be worthy and 3) live, always in union with God. At age 30 she fell ill and suffered happily until his death.

This does not tell us much of the original church, but gives us a fact: it is or was in honor of Julian of Norwich , English saint. However in the poster that is outside the church and doubts were just all makes sense, says Social Ministry Anglican Parish , Christ Church. Yes, the Church of England, yes, that he founded Henry VIII to divorce and marry Anne Boleyn chick-who later threw to the plate and then married Jane Seymour, and so forth, the bastard had 6 wives and more concubines. Well, yes, this is an Anglican church, or what remains of it, was completed in 1894 with a loan from Queen Victoria herself, and opened its doors in 1898. Decades passed, in the sixties had to recover much of its interior, the weather continued, the area where it is dropped, went out of fashion, became impoverished and forgotten. In 85, the earthquake, the temple was damaged bastards, and shortly after Christ Community Church moved to a cooler place in Lomas de Chapultepec (although still providing social assistance in the area of \u200b\u200bOld Christ Church).

This building is now regarded as national heritage as it is one of the two existing buildings representatives in Mexico English Gothic Renaissance. The Anglican community decided to make this heritage in the British Museum American Mexico. The renovations have not yet started but here's the blueprint: http://www.christchurchmexico.org/MBAM.pdf . So if you want to see the corpse before it is revived, you know, Section 123, historic downtown.
