Holmen's Kirke (Church) Photos from Else Knudsen
From: E Knudsen, Denmark To: "Myrna og Leonhard Trauntwein"
I went to Holmens Kirke, and got thise pictures for you, so you get an idea of what it looms like. It is build as a cros and then ther is also a room where some famos men are buried, but I did not take pictures there. Hilsen Else Below: The alter
The Danes of Copenhagen were and are people who live with the sea. For that reason, every church has a ship. In fact, almost all Danish churches throughout Denmark have a model ship hanging under the ceiling in the sanctuary. From ancient times the ship has been considered a symbol of the Christian church’s journey through the centuries. The symbolism is plentiful: right course, rough weather, the right pilot on board, a lighthouse, etc.
The baptismal font (dbefonten) is shown both close-up and showing its location.
Holmen's Kirke is the wedding place of our pre-Utah Trauntvein family. It looks today much as it did then.
