#FeastDay #SaintOfTheDay #StAgnesofAssisi She was an #Abbess and foundress of Poor Claire, #miracle worker, and younger sister of #StClaireOfAssisi. Her burial site is the Basilica di Santa Chiara, #Assisi, #Italy. She died #OnThisDay #OTD (19 Nov 1253) 765y ago #today. She joined her sister at the #Benedictine Monastery of #StFrancis of #Assisi. Angry of having lost two of his daughters, her father sent armed men to carry Agnes away. Agnes was badly beaten, but was not taken back to her father because something divine protected her. So the sisters was allowed to remain together.

VIRTUAL VISITA IGLESIA 2022 - Day 12⁣ Santa Clara de Asis, Tigaon, Camarines Sur⁣ ⁣ The Franciscans brought a distinctive style of churches when they evangelized Bicolandia. Using local materials like volcanic stone was a given but the architectural composition of a central belfry tower incorporated in the facade is a feature that we will see in numerous colonial churches in the region like Lagonoy in Camarines Sur, Legazpi cathedral, and Barcelona in Sorsogon among many others. One of these churches though is the church of Tigaon where the style is made more feminine and less militaristic. Instead of a spire for the tower, the central belfry is a domed tower with arched windows. The facade is divided by both pilasters and a frieze but 2 pairs of large, freestanding, double-height columns at the main door hold up the tower above. ⁣ ⁣ I would say that the facade is highly original and the weathered patina of its plastered facade ages the church beautifully. The old peach color of its facade is made more interesting with the sun rendering the colors differently at varied times of the day.⁣ ⁣ Seven Churches in Seven Days extended! seven more of the nicest #church #facades ive been to in the country, one per day of #semanasanta till #easter and then to #divinemercysunday.
