A father and daughter were resting in the small garden in front of the church, and moon and I were strolling around, and a flock of birds flew to their feet to feed like chickens. The birds never seemed to know how to be afraid of people, and when I took this camera to take pictures, it was just focusing on the moon sprinkled food. Entering St. James's Church, it is a tall and empty, relatively simple design. The walls are milky white, simple and generous, the columns and brick vaults on both sides of the hall are beautiful and solid, and the overall structure gives a harmonious form of beauty. The most impressive inside is the stained glass that is everywhere. The glass is painted with works reflecting biblical stories such as The Last Supper. When natural light is spilled through stained glass into the church, you can feel the thick feeling of the church walls and enjoy the beauty of the light and shadow of religion. When we visited, we happened to meet a priest holding a ceremony. In order not to disturb them, we just quietly admired it on the side. ◤ Notes ◢‼️ The north section of Church Street is a famous gay neighborhood in Toronto. This area is also known as the "Gay Village" in Toronto. The entire aura is completely different from the church area in the south. The lights are green and the flowers are displayed, and the rainbow flag (the gay flag) is floating everywhere. ‼️ St. Lawrence Market is also not far away! ‼️ Gay March Date: The end of June and early July are the largest gay parade in North America.

St. James's Church is also in downtown Toronto, a block from St. Lawrence Market. Listening to friends in Toronto, she first encountered the church opening. The church size is not comparable to that of famous churches in Europe, but it should be large in North America. It was empty, and there was only one old man praying.

It was the largest building in Toronto at the time and is now listed as a monument in Canada.

St. James' Church in downtown Toronto, a block from St. Lawrence Market, is the second tallest church in North America, and the oldest church in Toronto. The Queen of England visited Toronto and also did worship here. When it was first built, the cathedral did not have towering spires. The tallest minarets in Canada were built in 1875 and have since become landmarks in the city.

The church gates opened and there were signs saying "welcome, please come in". The sun through the stained glass, adding mystery and height to the church. Gothic spires guide people's thoughts upwards.
