Heart Of Slovenia

Church of St Andrew

  Vače, Litija     more than a year ago
Vače really is a village full of sights, and the church of St Andrew is yet another fascinating thing to view when in the hills outside of Litija. First mentioned in the 13th century, its current incarnation was put together in 1844 after the earlier building was destroyed by fire. The shining (quite literally) glory of the church is its Holy Tomb, a beautiful 19th century piece made at a glassworks in Ostrava (Czech Republic) in 1864. When the light shines from behind the tomb it is undeniably stunning. The church has a number of other interesting aspects, such as a 17th century vestry bell and some safely stored soil, soil that was kissed by Pope John Paul II on a visit to the country.
