What is it? Basically, Prayer Places is gallery of photographs and full screen "virtual reality" scenes of inspiring places I have been to. Mostly beautiful churches but could be other things too. Also, in the links section below you will find galleries of some of the greatest churches in all of Christendom. I am always adding on as I visit more inspiring places, so check back often.

Oh, it is nice and quaint alright and the panorama shows that, but it does have a couple features that are rather unique, in fact one is inexplicable and the other is downright inspiring and humbling at the same time.
