Garden Chef's Needle and Pen

Translated in English, that means, "Churches in Zurich". Well, this post was inspired by the photos and posts I've seen in Facebook. I know of friends who practice the tradition of visiting churches during the Lenten season. That reminds me of the three famous churches we visited on our 3rd day in the city of Zurich. If you have been with me in  Day 1 in Zurich , this is a sequel. On our 3rd day, after coming out of the Swiss National Museum where we went round and round, lost in the immense historic grandeur of the place, we once again spanned the length of Limmatquai and Bahnhofquai (the streets on both sides of the Limmat River) to Stadthausquai. Within the vicinity we were able to get a closer view of the three famous and major churches for which the city of Zurich is known for. These are the Fraumunster and St. Peter on the western bank and the Grossmunster at the eastern bank of the Limmat River.

As I said in the other post entitled, Walking Down the Street of Zurich: Episode 1 , from the hotel, we crossed to the other side of Pfingstweidstrasse where we saw this view of the two buildings just across.  The Resistance-Renaissance This building is named Resistance

Are you ready for this walk? As I promised in my previous   post , this is going to be a real long walk! Having no ticket to get either a tram, bus or train ride, there was not much choice left but to go on foot. But wait, first make sure you had a sumptuous breakfast! That's exactly what we had... a real heavy breakfast, our first meal in the hotel. Day 2 in Zurich.

February 23, 2014, the day we arrived in Zurich, we didn't waste any time... even without tickets for any transportation, we were determined to explore the city--- first, to find out where to buy the tickets, and second, to take a glimpse of the city at once.  So we just walked, walked and walked to where our impulses led us.  That day, being a Sunday, we were enthusiastic to find a church. So the moment we saw the steeple of this church while we were exploring the city streets, we just continued walking to its direction, until we reached this place--- the Wipkingen Church. The Wipkingen Kirche

What a blessing it is to savor the wonder and beauty of these snow-capped mountains after walking a few kilometers to Wipkingen Church up a hill several blocks from Wipkinger Park . I didn't expect to see this view on Day 1 here in Zurich, Switzerland. Never in my whole life did I realize I would ever take this photo personally. It's very, very far from where I stood, yes, but distance is no hindrance in savoring such wonder and beauty! See this--- The Alps!
