Good-Bye to Our Guide

Our guide noted the Stiklestad Church has gone through numerous restorations.

On one occasion, workers discovered that underneath a previous wall covering lie remnants of paintings that earlier congregations had attempted to erase and cover. Today stains of those attempts are visible between the high-set windows and



the eye-level

wall

paintings

of

Christ's

life.




As we
processed out,

we noticed


the exposed log
ceiling beams,


the elaborate
pipe organ
in the church balcony,






as well as

the wood-carving

and stone work

at the front door –

where we

bid our

Guide
"Good-bye."
