We Decided to take a trip to the oldest church in South Africa. This church is found in Tulbach about 3 hour drive out of Cape Town. It is a little community where you will find absolutely nothing except for history. This church was erected in 1743 and still stands in it's original state today.
It's origin is Catholic and it is a pretty amazing work of art. There are 3 sections where the people could go upstairs to look down at the meeting from above. This section was reserved for women and children. The priest would go onto the podium and preach from the biggest Bible I have ever seen in my entire life!
As you can see by the size of the book compared to my hand, that thing was truly spectacular!
Yeah that book is really big. Look how things change, now we can store this much knowledge in a small usb,even far more than that.
Relics still matter even though the world's changed
Yes that is true... Innovation and ideas rules the world

The building is very beautiful
I would like to get one more detail... does the church still has a congregation that gather inside of that building ? your article reminds me some of the churches in western countries that have closed their doors as nowadays there are not congregation, due to the fact that people are more busy in business, forgetting their creator.
But anyway, we shall remember the purpose of building a church...
very interesting post)
who built the church?
It was the Dutch

It's a nice place,
Miraculous and earthquake prove build structures today are the wonder of modern technology and skilled architecture but whenever I see historical buildings, I really astonish how could they build such huge and flawless structures without the help of all that machinery and stuff. How great our ancient's skills were. Just amazing.
Good post dude, especially images. Keep it up.

I was taught by a monk who was also an ex-NHL hockey player. One day he took a book that looked exactly like that Bible and ran it down a row of boys' heads like a stick in a picket fence. He stopped at me - I never knew why, but I saw my life pass before my eyes while he was approaching. Maybe he saw that too and figured he put the fear of God in me, lol
