Geocache Description:

There is no need to enter the church grounds to get to the cache.

With this cache I wanted to show you one of the lesser known churches in Montreal.

St. John's Lutheran Church was constructed in 1907. The building itself is quite modest, but if you have a chance, go inside and see the beautiful interior.

I took the description from the church's web page (visit link)

The interior of the church is finished entirely in dark oak with a barrel vault ceiling holding a large brass chandelier, especially designed and executed for the building. The entire front is covered in frescoes, painted in 1920. Two additional canvasses adorned the left and right sides of the chancel. The original brass lighting fixtures line the walls.

The frescoes follow the model of medieval church decoration but with the subjects being immigrants turned in worship to the altar/cross at the centre of the fresco wall. Two canvasses on the left and right sides, at the head of the side aisles, depict the theological heart of the Christian faith: the death of Christ and the resurrection of Christ. The crucifixion canvas is peculiar in its setting of the scene into a germanic-style landscape with a Germanic Jesus. It reflects the German version of the popular turn of the century trend by Europeans to make Jesus their own ethnic super-hero.

N.B.:
If you want to see the interior of the church, please stop by on a Sunday before or between services (there is usually a German service from 9:30 - 10:30 AM and an English service from 11 AM - 12 PM).

Please do not barge in during service: it is a small church and a small community. You will not go unnoticed. Thank you for your consideration!

(At the same time Sunday is the day with the highest muggle emergence.)
