Site of the Transfiguration

21/12/08
Here you see the new church built over the old church at the site. The church grounds was only accessible by taxi. Even though we took the taxi to the top, we still had to walk the rest of the way to the church grounds and it was a good five minutes walk uphill too.
In the church, we see the Transfiguration mosaic and of course the original building stones of the old church could be see through the glass pane on the ground.


The view at the top was indeed breath taking.


The church grounds grew such pretty flowers too. I recognise some of them as Cyclamens and Pansies and they are pretty difficult to grow in Singapore. The cool climate here definitely allowed them to bloom so well. There was also a species of cactus/succulent that was blooming too.
