    After having toured and eaten our way through Charleston, our tour group headed to St. Simons…read moreIsland the following day. Our First stop was Christ Church. The congregation began in 1736, headed by John and Charles Wesley and the spot has been a place of worship continuously at that time. The services were held outdoors for several years, the church being build in 1820. The preservation of this 198 year old (as of this writing) building was impressive--it appeared that it had been built recently but we were assured that everything was original. The docent who led our tour was excellent and her narrative brought the history to life. She pointed out one stained glass window created by the famous Louis Tiffany and like the tourists we were, all jostled for position to take a photo. We also toured the cemetery. It was kept in pristine condition by both volunteers and paid employees. Since I have an interest in architecture, one of the highlights was seeing a grave enclosure constructed of tabby. Tabby is a type of concrete made by burning oyster shells to create lime, then mixing it with salt water, sand, ash and broken oyster shells. The resulting product is unusually strong and resilient to nature and is usually covered by a smooth exterior such as stucco. Sure enough, in this example, much of the stucco had eroded away but the tabby seem to be relatively untouched after over a hundred years. As beautiful as the church was, it was the live oak trees with pendulous Spanish "moss" (not really moss but a bromeliad) with the sunlight filtering through and the overall serenity of the place that made it difficult to leave. In fact, I sat down under a tree and just took the place in. In addition to the "moss," this tree was also covered with "resurrection fern," most appropriate for a cemetery! A few others in our group did likewise and the poor tour operator had to gather us up after all the others were already on the bus. Christ Church at Frederica should be in the top ten on your bucket list as, indeed, should St. Simons Island. The charm and the beauty of this magical place will take your breath away.
