Eternity
The church encompasses every
aspect of human life. In 2010, the
modern Chapel of St. Lawrence
was built next to the medieval
church.
The graveyard surrounding the
church and the chapel reminds us
that even the limits of time itself
can be conquered. It is a place
where the present, the past and
the eternal connect.
On All Saints’ Day and Christ-
mas Eve, the graveyard is filled
with the light of hundreds of
candles that people bring to the
graves of their passed relatives.
