This morning Mary Shea and I took a walk to explore the church scene in Torremaggiore. It was about 10:30 and when we reached the church at the end of the street where we are living ( First picture) we were surprised to find that it was closed. We walked on and asked a gentleman who was walking his dog where we might find an open church. He told us about three churches we might visit-- all about a 5 minute walk away from where we were and the times for the Masses at each. All would be opening between 11:15 and 11: 30. We decided to walk through the high end district where all the stores with high-end fashions, meat shipping stores, classy bistros etc. are located till we reached the plaza and church dedicated to the Holy Queen of Heaven. (See above). By now the bells were ringing in the tower beside the church. We went in the church on this day which celebrated the Baptism of Jesus Christ.
