St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen



The lovely St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen was constructed in the medieval periods of history. Some of the medieval epochs of history speak of the dark ages of Europe when the Europeans suffered a lot during the aftermath of incessant wars, plagues, terrible fires, etc. It was also during this era that the poverty-stricken people who were struck by leprosy were banned from visiting public places and were treated inhumanly. The St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen was a refuge for these poor people who otherwise lived in utter misery and constant illness.

The kind-hearted Norwegian priests of Bergen erected the St. Jorgen's Church in Bergen out of sheer sympathy for the poor and the ailing. Here, the lepers would come in throngs to get the assurance of these devout Christians who would offer them food and clothing. The lepers were extremely grateful for these offerings and would thank the priests in turn.

However, the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen was exposed to a devastating fire in the early years of the eighteenth century. Many of the church's halls and chambers were destroyed in this fire. However, as the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen was revered highly among the Christians of Bergen and the common people in general because of the dedicated services of its priests; it was decided to have the structure reconstructed. The portions that were destroyed by the flames were engineered once more and the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen and its precincts have been carefully maintained since then.

Currently, the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen comprises a lovely edifice with gray exteriors. The St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen somewhat resembles the structure of a Swiss cottage with its slanting roofs painted in dark gray stripes. The church steeple stands unwaveringly erect and towers above many houses and buildings of the region. The compound of the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen is adorned by lush green bushes and well-built poles at the top of which are powerful lamps that light up the church and its surroundings after dusk.

One of the chief Bergen tourist attractions, the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen is presently visited by hundreds of school kids who attend prayer meetings in the Church. Several religious groups and activists advocating some good cause also gather at the Church grounds regularly because they feel that the St. Jorgen's Church, Bergen is an excellent platform from where they can reach out to the common masses in order to make them aware of any social injustice and the means by which to prevent social inequalities.
