Gwangtan Catholic Church

The church was a neat and beautiful place, and the Kobe 19 precautions were well followed, and the words of the main pregnant woman, Kim Joon-dong (Martino), were very meaningful. It is said that the face of Jesus image was engraved on the pillar next to the main gate, so it is a hot topic.

Passing through the city center in mining and passing through the tranquil countryside where dogs are tied up, there is a Catholic church built in its own way.

There are several criteria for distinguishing between good and bad buildings. The harmony with the surrounding environment is also one of them. The more harmonious it is, the better the architecture is, as if standing at the beginning from the beginning, in harmony with the surrounding environment. The Uijeongbu Diocese's photoelastic sugar bowl, which is located at the foot of Mount Padal in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, is also true. A place to praise God with nature At the end of the cotton field, the Tanzanites do not share nature with themselves. Pinaceae and weeds divide the border between the cathedral and farmland by the side of the farmland. The green roof of the cathedral does not interfere with the green of Mt. Park, and the outer wall of the red brick accepts the red energy of the earth. Because it was formed as a branch of prayer, it was felt like a good house to praise God with nature. "In the spring, azaleas and forsythia are welcomed. In the summer, frogs and cicadas are accompanied by a chant. In fall, golden leaves and red-faced autumn leaves decorate the cathedral. In winter, It blinds all over the eyes without discrimination and makes us feel that the Lord loves us all. " It is neither large nor small. It is a small liturgical space where more than 100 believers can participate. It is neither too much nor too little. Simple and simple. So comfortable. It is fun to sit on a new magnet. The interior of the cathedral is bright and warmly decorated. The wooden ceiling and the new magnet, bright brick and white marble floor provide psychological stability. So I lay down my tired from me easily and let me fall into prayer. I enjoy the quiet joy of feeling a great peace, like the confession of a trappist monk, whose joy is peace and God. This joy is definitely here. Coexistence of monotony and balance There is a sense of balance in monotony. The walls of the cathedral walls each have eight windows decorated with colored glass paintings on the main contents of the New and Old Testament. It is a work produced by Luca Gilhwa workshop. The projected lights fill the interior of the cathedral from sunrise to sunset. Inside the cathedral, scattered in a colorful, beautiful hue of warm and unattractive air, makes us realize that this space must be filled with holiness. The umbilical wall has a rose window and a large bronze cross. The cross is a work of Lee Young-chun (Michael). Beneath the cross is a grave filled with wheat and grapes, planted in a good field and rich in fruit. There is a part of the remains of the sister Kim Dae-geon in the wooden sacrifice. The cross, the hypocrite, and the umbilical cord form a single vertical line. The owner of this house speaks of Jesus Christ. The prayer on the knees before the platoon in the foot of the Lord crucified can not but be humble. Forgetting words, only silence flows. I feel empty head and chest. Then I am conscious. I am asking that all things be done according to the will of the Lord. . There are crosses and statues in the Virgin Mary's Garden next to the cathedral, and 14 outdoor crosses are decorated. It is a prayer garden that praises God with the sun and moon, flowers and trees, and field grain. Gwangtan Cathedral, which was consecrated in April 2012, became famous as it was featured in TV drama 'Good Doctor' and 'Gangdongi'. There are not many people who visit here on weekdays. However, the believers are more hopeful than the famous cathedral, because the friendship is full of fellowship.
