Description The original church here was dedicated to St Michael in 1261. It was given an ‘Indulgence’ by Pope Benedict the 12th in 1335 stating that “the observer of various duties outlined should have forty days indulgence from the penances enjoyned upon them.”

The existing church was built in 1862-66 and the pulpit consists of an alabaster basement surmounted with a tracery of Pentewan stone supported on serpentine pillars.

Perhaps the oddest thing I found in the church was a crucifix made from spent shotgun shells. Would that say something about the parishioners?

Hopefully ‘Indulgences’ aren’t retracted and I’m given another ‘get out of Hell free’ card and 40 odd days of Grace.

Model: Kate

Please: be respectful of the model... My own technique is of course open to critique but if you've nothing nice to say about the model say nothing. Thanks guys.

this is a great picture! I like how her necklace directly points down into the book
what nerdy me realised are the numbers in the background, it's 211, could have done 210 as a countdown
very pretty

I`ll get this out of the road.... Yayyyy, Whoooo, HOOPLA!!!!!.

Actually in Orkney there is a converted Nissen Hut called the Italian chapel, it was made for prisoners of war and they fashioned various things from spent bullet casings. Dont worry about going to hell after all at least all our friends will be there!!!!
