My ancestors' life was strictly connected with Carpathian Region. They had lived there before the WWI since 15th or 16Th century. So it is a very very long time. Only some trees could survive that long period. Some of them did.
Firstly the church in Szebnie was a place where my ancestors celebrated the most important events of their lives. As I know my ancestors didn't live so long . Why? The answer is easy. The medicine wasn't developed so well and there wan no antibiotics..
Szebnie is a village located 10 km from Jaslo in Carpathian Region . The first churcg was built in 1606. And what it is interesting it has survived the WWI , WWII and communism.. And it is still exists but a few years ago the new one was built.
very neat! i hope you link in to www.inspiredsundaymeme.blogspot.com with this!

ReplyDeletewow, what a place! I love the painted wood interior. It is so different from the French stone churches I'm used to loving :) And, it's so exciting to know that your ancestors used this church. How far back, Margaret?
