Thursday we went out to explore a Baroque church just for a change from Renaissance art and architecture. When we went in, there were no other visitors. Two priests were seated at the front chanting. Another man was off to the side joining in. It was between 2:00 and 2:30, so I suspect it was one of the daily offices. The acoustics were excellent and it was a great sound.

After they were done chanting, the priests went into a back room off the altar area. Soon the third man went forward and snuffed the candles. The priest in white came into the small chapel that can be seen behind the seated man shown above.
