Architecture and design in religious temples ⛪️ (ING - ESP)
Modern architecture and interior design of religious temples
Inspiration can come at any time, you just have to get out of the routine and it will find you, that's what happened to me when I went out to run an errand, I found two religious temples, one in front of the other, each with a particular architecture that differentiates them and a different religion, but with something in common, both are based on the teachings of the enlightened Jesus of Nazareth.
That they are so close to each other caught my attention and at the same time gave me some happiness to know that I live in a society with freedom of worship and that both can coexist in healthy peace.These churches are located in the town of Turmero in the state of Aragua, Venezuela, first I will describe the only one I could enter, then the one I found closed.
Arquitectura moderna y diseño de interiores de templos religiosos
La inspiración puede llegar en cualquier momento, solo hay que salir de la rutina y ella te encontrará, eso fue lo que me pasó cuando salí hacer una diligencia, me encontré dos templos religiosos, uno al frente de otro, cada uno con una arquitectura particular qué los diferencia y una religión distinta, pero con algo en común las dos tienen de base las enseñanzas del iluminado Jesús de Nazareth.
Que se encontrarán tan cerca llamó mi atención y a la vez me dio algo de felicidad al saber que vivo en una sociedad con libertad de cultos y que ambas pueden coexistir en sana paz. Estas iglesias se encuentran en la localidad de Turmero en el estado Aragua, Venezuela, primero voy a describir la única en la que pude entrar, luego la qué encontré cerrada.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Sanctuary
There is a church of the catholic religion, the first thing I noticed is that there was a soup kitchen open for people of low income, homeless and who have nothing to eat, this works next to this church and keeps the same front, it works with the collaboration of the church, then my gaze was directed to the church that has security against theft.
Above the front, at the top of the wall, there is an electrical system that prevents intruders from entering, so it makes me think that they have things of value, upon entering there is a large showcase of religious objects that are for sale, such as rosaries, printed flannels with religious images and many things, which I did not photograph because there was a person in charge and out of embarrassment.
The wall of the entrance has a large mural of the Virgin of Perpetual Help and a poster of a warrior who I do not know who he is, the entire front wall has slabs of stones and on one side there is a sculpture of the Virgin of Coromoto, patron saint of Venezuela very nice, this I could touch, there are also giant pots with palms that decorate the entrance, I went on and entered the center of the church and I was a little impressed.
Santuario Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro
Está una iglesia de la religión católica, lo primero que observé es que había un comedor popular abierto para personas de bajos recursos, sin hogar y que no tienen que comer, esto funciona al lado de esta iglesia y mantiene el mismo frente, funciona con la colaboración de la iglesia, entonces mi mirada se dirigió a la Iglesia que posee seguridad contra robos.
Arriba del frente, en la parte superior de la pared, hay un sistema eléctrico qué evita que intrusos entren, por lo que me hace pensar que tienen cosas de valor, al entrar hay una vitrina grande de objetos religiosos qué están en venta, como rosarios, franelas estampadas con imágenes religiosas y muchas cosas, que no fotografíe porque estaba una persona encargada y por vergüenza.
La pared de la entrada tiene un mural grande de la virgen del Perpetuo Socorro y un póster de un guerrero qué no sé quién es, toda la pared del frente tiene lajas de piedras y en un costado hay una escultura de la virgen de Coromoto patrona de Venezuela muy bonita, esta la pude tocar, también hay macetas gigantes con palmas qué decoran la entrada, seguí y entré al centro de la iglesia y me impresionó un poco.
This church has air conditioning, which makes the atmosphere cool and provoked me to stay there, it served me a good time and I even felt like praying 😆, there were two people at the door, but I felt they were like the church wardens, the others were older people that out of respect for them I did not take more pictures.
This church has two floors and downstairs is where the church functions for the parishioners, with oyster white walls, wooden ceiling and crystal chandeliers, they immerse you in another era. The images that decorate it are many and of great size, the one I was able to photograph was one of the largest, I would say that it measures 1.60 cm of a nun, maybe it is Mother Mary of St. Joseph who is a newly appointed saint in Rome. Well, this sculpture is bigger than me. 🤭
There was a wall full of aged pictures and things that made no sense to me, but they were there as proof of some miracle and another wall that I really liked, was one that upon entering catches the attention of anyone for its colorfulness, it is the wall that faces the back of the church and is covered with small pictures or plaques with a message of thanks for a favor done, a miracle that mostly are for regaining health or saving a life. The light is reflected in these colorful pictures, making them shine in a beautiful way.
Esta iglesia posee aire acondicionado, lo que hace que el ambiente esté fresco y provoqué quédese allí, a mí me sirvió un buen rato y hasta ganas de rezar me dieron 😆, había dos personas en la puerta, pero sentí que eran como los vigilantes de la iglesia, las otras eran personas mayores que por respeto a ellos no saque más fotografías.
Esta iglesia tiene dos plantas y en la parte de abajo es donde funciona la iglesia para los feligreses, con paredes blanca ostra, techo de madera y lámparas de cristal, te sumergen en otra época. Destáquese estas lámparas de lágrimas realmente hermosas, las imágenes que la decoran son muchas y de gran tamaño, la que pude fotografiar fue una de las más grandes, yo diría que mide 1.60 cm de una monja, tal vez sea la madre María de San José que es una santa recién nombrada en Roma. Bueno, esta escultura es más grande que yo. 🤭
Había una pared llena de cuadros envejecidos y cosas que para mí no tenían sentido, pero estaban allí como prueba de algún milagro y otra pared qué sí me gustó mucho, fue una qué al entrar llama la atención de cualquiera por su colorido, es la pared qué da al fondo de la iglesia y está cubierta de pequeños cuadros o placas con un mensaje de agradecimiento por un favor cumplido, un milagro que en su mayoría son por recuperar la salud o salvar una vida. La luz se refleja en esos cuadros de colores, haciéndolos brillar de una forma hermosa.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
When leaving this church and crossing the street I run into a singular architecture, it was a construction with a small obelisk located at the top of the front, this is the other church, which has a nameplate that literally describes the following: "church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" they are commonly known as Mormons, these churches are always closed, I have never seen them open and I do not know what hours they operate, their system is very discreet, they do not have a cross in their architecture like the Catholic ones, but they do have an obelisk that represents according to what I could investigate a replica of the Vermont granite obelisk that became the tallest in America in its time and was placed for the commemoration of the birthplace of the prophet of this religion Joseph Smith, that is where this architectural symbol comes from in its design.
Of this place I can only describe what I saw on the outside, it is a modern construction which has two wings, in one it seems to be the temple, in the other a kind of classrooms and at the end you can see a sports court, I imagine that it works as a training site. They have a front of iron railings which allowed me to put my arm in and take these photos without interference.
Iglesia de Jesucristo de los santos de los últimos días
Al salir de esta iglesia y cruzar la calle me topo con una arquitectura singular, era una construcción con un obelisco pequeño ubicado en la parte superior del frente, se trata de la otra iglesia, que tiene una placa de identificación que describe literalmente lo siguiente: "iglesia de Jesucristo de los santos de los últimos días" comúnmente se les conoce como mormones, estas iglesias siempre están cerradas, nunca las he visto abiertas y no sé en qué horario funcionan, su sistema es muy discreto, no poseen cruz en su arquitectura como las católicas, pero sí un obelisco que representa según lo que pude investigar una réplica al obelisco de granito de Vermont que llego a ser el más alto de América en su tiempo y fue colocado por la conmoración del lugar del nacimiento del profeta de esta religión José Smith, de allí viene este símbolo arquitectónico en su diseño.
De este lugar solo puedo describir lo que vi por fuera, Es una construcción moderna qué tiene dos alas, en una parece que es el templo, en la otra una especie de salones de clases y al final se puede ver una cancha deportiva, me imagino que funciona como un recinto de capacitación. Tienen un frente de rejas de hierro qué me permitieron meter mi brazo y sacar estas fotos sin interferencia.
As a conclusion both churches seem to have things of value that they protect with an architecture and a safe design, I like that they are one in front of the other and as a curious fact both are in the same street of a health center, coincidence or coincidence, what do you think?
Como conclusión ambas iglesias parecen tener cosas de valor que resguardan con una arquitectura y un diseño seguro, me gustan que estén una enfrente de otra y como dato curioso ambas están en la misma calle de un centro de salud, casualidad o coincidencia, qué ¿cree usted?

very cool design. i saw a colorful wall, it was so cool.
Yes, I love how it looked and how it reflected the sun's rays. 😉
One special architecture Church. I am a religious so I am really happy when I find a new beautiful Church. Thank you for your sharing.
Likewise, I like it when you can see that they maintain the temple and people are happy.
Hi @soyunasantacruz, the creativity to decorate the temples has no limits, each one has a particular style that makes it special; the wall with the plaques is impressive when I saw the cover I thought they were stained glass; the design of the last temple stands out for its tower in triangular termination I have seen several and have that feature in common.
It was a pleasure to read your publication and to know the different designs and interior decorations of several temples.
Greetings and blessings!
That wall is the part of the church that I liked the most, the rays of the sun go through it during the course of the day and it is reflected there and it looks more beautiful.
There is almost no more space to hang plaques.
These two temples have their own beauty both outside and inside, it was difficult to choose the photos because I had so many and I wanted to share them all.
Happy day @belkyscabrera, you are always welcome, it's a pleasure to receive you.
What a beautiful interior of the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, it looks so warm and welcoming. I love churches, they are all beautiful from the simplest to the most sumptuous.
Very nice publication!
That's the feeling the church gave me, cozy.
Thank you for your kind words. @jordy0827 ☺️
