St. Mary's Church High Hill

Painted Churches of Texas

This collection of churches proudly display their German and Czech heritage that surround the town of Schulenburg, Texas in the tiny communities of Shiner, Ammansville, Dubina, High Hill and Praha.
These churches interiors offer an overwhelming feast for the eyes with stained glass windows and statues too numerous to count with multi-spired altars and ornate stenciled artwork that covers seemingly every inch of the structures.

A colorful Texas tradition: Travelogue through Schulenburg's painted churches

- When immigrants from Moravia found passage into Galveston, the Ellis Island of the South, many headed for the Texas Hill Country bringing a piece of their homeland with them. They may not have had the cash or the access to materials to recreate their houses of worship, but they were ingenious enough to fashion another solution — with paint.

Joel Luks, hosted by the Greater Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce and the Architecture Center of Houston, explores four of these charming buildings and the stories behind them with local expert Patricia Balcar.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

The basilica is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the world, and the world's third most-visited sacred site. Pope Leo XIII granted the venerated image a Canonical Coronation on 12 October 1895.
