The priest, whose name was Fernandez Moreno, was nearly 70 years old. After seeing Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge walking into the church arm in arm, he first introduced the church to the couple with great interest, and then led them to another room outside the church.
To Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge's surprise, this small church has a history of more than 250 years, even older than the city.
However, when the Spanish invaded South America, the missionaries were the first. The soldiers were even slower than the missionaries.
This situation is very common in South American countries. Most of the oldest buildings in many cities are some Catholic churches, and these cities even developed with the Catholic Church as the center.
The scale of ETA is not large, and as a satellite city of Asunci ó n, the city probably developed on the basis of this seemingly insignificant Catholic Church.
Out of the side door of the church, only more than ten meters away from the church is another house of the church. This kind of house is mostly prepared for priests and other church staff. It is usually a place for priests to rest. Of course, it will also store some items that can't be placed in the church.
The house covers a large area, only a little smaller than the church. Father Moreno took out a bunch of keys, opened the secret lock on the door, and then took Yang Jing and his wife into the house.
The house is very tidy. Rows of shelves are filled with all kinds of items, including crosses, imitation Holy Grails, Bibles, porcelain, metal products, etc.
"These things were donated to the church spontaneously by the local religious people, which are the intention of their worship to God. The church will keep these items well. The oldest of these items can even be traced back to the middle of the 18th century, when the church was just established. Look at this vase from China, which was a Spanish vase in Paraguay at that time It was donated by a general. At that time, ITA was only a place not much bigger than the village. "
"Look at this silver cross, which was donated to the church by the Great Dictator Francia after Paraguay's independence. And this silver statue of the virgin, which was donated to the church by Paraguay's first president Carlos Antonio Lopez; and this..."
With father Moreno's slightly proud tone, Yang Jing seemed to enter a museum.
These things are not very valuable, but together, they can just write a history of ETA, and even the whole history of Paraguay, which can be clearly seen in these donated items.
These things that can be placed on the front shelf and occupy a separate floor are obviously donated by celebrities in Paraguay's history. Later, there are more things on the shelves. When we get to the back shelves, the shelves are simply all kinds of boxes. Needless to say, the boxes are filled with donated items, but the donors are ordinary people.
Father Moreno took out his reading glasses, put them on and looked for them on the penultimate shelf for a while. Then he pointed to a rattan box at the bottom of the shelf and said, "this is the goods donated by Mr. Schroeder in those years, but our place is limited, and the goods donated by many people can only be put in the box."
Yang Jing smiled and shook her head, indicating that it didn't matter. Then she came forward and pulled the slightly heavy box out of the shelf with a little force.
After opening the box on a table, Yang Jing saw what was in it.
There are many things, but most of them are small pieces, such as silver crosses, statues of the virgin, statues of God, and some other silver products. Of course, there are several books that look very old, mostly Bibles.
Most of these things are made of silver. If they were put half a century ago, they would be worth it. Of course, Martin Bowman was able to donate these things, and must have donated a lot of checks or cash.
Because the church is a non-profit organization, all operations, water, electricity, coal, house repair, including the living expenses of the clergy, depend on the donations of the church members. In addition to donating some items, members will also donate money, which is the key to the sustainability of a church.
The church can be favored by so many celebrities. So many celebrities donate goods. I think they usually receive a lot of donations. The reason why the things donated by Martin bowman can stay here must have been that he donated a lot of money at the beginning, otherwise the things he donated would have been sold by the church for money.
"Can I see these things?" Yang Jing asked father Moreno.
Father Moreno nodded, "yes, but you should pay attention. These things have been for more than half a century, and there are few people here, so we don't have the energy to maintain the items donated by these believers."
Yang Jing nodded. Of course, he heard another meaning in the priest's words - have a good look. If you think it's OK, you can take these things back. There are few people and places here. We can't put so many things. Of course, you'd better take some custody fees and so on, just to worship God
This kind of thing is very common in foreign churches. Many believers donated some items to the church a long time ago, but some of these items may be of great memorial significance to their future generations, so their future generations will spend money to "redeem" these things
Yang Jing carefully took out these things one by one, looked carefully for more than ten minutes, and finally took all these items back into the box.
"Father Moreno, I think the items left by Mr. Schroeder are very memorable to my family, so I want to take them back. Of course, in order to show the church's long-term preservation of these items, I will donate $50000 to the church. What do you think?"
Hearing Yang Jing's words, father Moreno showed a happy smile on his face, "God will bless you!"
That's the promise.
In fact, although most of these things are silver products, and they have been for more than half a century, the total value is estimated to be more than 10000 US dollars. Yang Jing "bought" them back with 50000 US dollars. Father Moreno can't refuse as long as he is not mentally disabled.
After Yang Jing carrying the big box was sent out of the church by father Moreno, Ge Ge asked in a low voice, "Yang Jing, is there a clue in these things?"
"I'm not sure yet, but there's a notebook left by Martin Bowman. Maybe we can find some clues in this notebook, but it takes time."
"I'll help you find it when you get back! I know Spanish..."
Yang Jing said with a smile, "but Martin Bowman is a German..."
It's embarrassing.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
