The Churches on My Travels, Historic Churches, The Church of The Cross, Bluffton, St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Charleston, South Carolina, Sunday is a Day of Worship
“Rooted in The Past, Sheltering the Present, Reaching out to the Future, Empowered by the God of the Ages.” Visiting my good friend, Anita, in Bluffton, South Carolina….discovering a new city in the South; Anita took me to this beautiful church. Unfortunately, we could not get inside. It is an Anglican Church. It also 161 years old. Since 1975 The Church of The Cross has been in The National Register of Historic Places.
The location is beautiful, right on the May River.

Magical Sundays I call them….There is something about this day of the week. Some go to church, others put their feet up and read a book. And most probably do nothing at all. They say that 1 in 5 Americans identify themselves as spiritual but not religious. Spirituality is an emotion and soothes. Visiting the churches on my travels bring me peace and it does not matter what denomination they are. They have heard our prayers and our thanksgivings.
One church I fell in love with last February was St. Michael’s Catholic Church located at 71 Broad St. in Historic Charleston. It is a National Historic Landmark. Pewes are made of native cedar and remain the same as they have always been. I visited this church once again last week. The chancel rail is made of wrought iron. It dates to 1772. George Washington worshipped at Governor’s Pew #43.
St. Michael’s Church is one of the few city churches in America that has retained its original design. Last March I wrote a post on this church. If you would like to see it just click on the month of March 2015 on AboutMyBeaches and scroll down to the 8th.
If you get a chance to visit the beautiful churches of Charleston, please do so because they are amazing.
Have a Great Day!!
