Corpus Christi Church - Ghasri, Gozo, Malta - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Ubicada en el pintoresco pueblo rural de Ghasri, Corpus Christi es una iglesia del siglo XX que forma parte de la Diócesis Católica Romana de Gozo. Dedicada al Corpus Christi en 1921, es una de las iglesias más nuevas de la isla y el corazón de la vida del pueblo.

La primera piedra de la iglesia se colocó en 1903 y el edificio se terminó unos años más tarde.
Modelo de esplendor arquitectónico, su llamativa fachada barroca está flanqueada por dos altos campanarios, y su cúpula puede verse desde lejos.
Cautivador tanto por fuera como por dentro, el interior de la iglesia, de temática rojiza y dorada, está iluminado por velas, mientras que su suelo de baldosas decorativas añade un toque de autenticidad local.

El edificio es un tesoro de reliquias, incluido un retablo titular que representa la Última Cena, situado en su coro.

Recientemente restaurada, la iglesia del Corpus Christi sigue siendo tan gloriosa como hace cien años y ofrece una cautivadora visión de la vida parroquial rural".

"Located in the picturesque rural village of Ghasri, Corpus Christi is a 20th-century church that is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gozo. Dedicated to Corpus Christi in 1921, it is one of the newest churches on the island and the heart of village life.

The church's foundation stone was laid in 1903, and the building was completed a few years later. A model of architectural splendor, its striking Baroque façade is flanked by two tall bell towers, and its dome can be seen from afar. Captivating both inside and out, the church's russet-and-gold-themed interior is lit by candlelight, while its decorative tiled floor adds a touch of local authenticity.

The building is a treasure trove of relics, including a titular altarpiece depicting the Last Supper, located in its choir stalls.

Recently restored, Corpus Christi Church remains as glorious as it was a hundred years ago and offers a captivating glimpse into rural parish life."
