    Churches of Belgium

    16 november 2022, Belgien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    If you've followed this blog you know we've seen a lot of churches. Like A LOT of churches. I actually had one friend message me and comment that it appears we're on a mission to see every church in Europe. The Belgian cities haven't had the prettiest churches (Italy wins that award still), but they have had a lot of cathedral level churches per city. In order to not have every post be all about churches, I'm making a separate post just for Belgian churches.

    One award Belgium does win is the prettiest Pulpits award. Apparently during the Catholic counter reformation (the Vatican's response to the Protestant Reformation) the Belgian archdioceses decided to put more emphasis on the teachings of the church and manifested as featuring the pulpit rather than the altar at the front of the church. The results are amazing, as you'll see in the pictures.
