The church is modest, yet so beautiful, both at the same time. The priest was incredible, personable, and even put some levity into the memorial. I appreciated his microphone head set. The singers acquired were angelic and professional . . . they made the service even more special than it already was. I really enjoyed the décor and open and airiness of the church overall. I kept looking up at Jesus on the cross when the songs were breaking my heart and had me in literal tears. My absolutely ONLY, ONLY, ONLY negative, was that there was no public water (or even bottled) available. I was parched. An employee told me that there were paper cups in the bathroom. I'm fine with drinking tap water, but I really found it odd to not have water on hand for guests. People get anxious and overcome at viewings/funerals - I would think that water is a NECESSITY! I hope to go to this beauty for a happy occasion sometime. . .

The ambiance is lovely with the huge stained windows, especially when there is sunlight streaming in through the colored glass. There is something oddly comforting about the old wooden pews that creak softly as people rise and sit throughout Mass. The priest spoke eloquently during the liturgy, and there are little touches to encourage smiles that made even newbies like me feel welcome (such as shaking hands and welcoming each other). Finally, music was incredibly well done. The singer was wonderful and her piano accompanist was truly gifted. A nice touch to a lovely service.

Are you Swedish? It seemed initially like a rather odd first thing to say to someone but that's…read moreexactly how our experience began during our visit to Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church . To answer the question, I'm about as Swedish as a certain famous chef (Bork! Bork!) but seeing as this church was founded by people of Swedish descent it's not really all that odd of a question. This church my friends is indeed the oldest continuously operating church in our fine republic. * Are there older church buildings? Yes * Are there older congregations? Yes But, all the rest are either no longer actively used as a church or they are on their second, third or fourth building. The building here was finished in 1698, was dedicated on July 4th, 1699 and is still an active church to this day. The church and it's location are thanks to Erik Bjork who was the pastor at Holy Trinity from 1697 until 1713. This church was not the first in the area for the congregation but Bjork knew that they had to move away from wood and use stone for a new building just like they had to move to higher ground away from the Christina River. A few fun facts about the building: * Early parishioners donated the planks and logs for the black-walnut pulpit that is considered the oldest pulpit known pulpit in the United States which still stands in its original location. * The altar is also from black walnut with paneling that echoes the design of the pulpit. It is at least the third altar at Old Swedes. * The pews are reproductions of the originals and were built in 1899 using patterns and descriptions from early church records. The pews could be closed to keep out drafts in winter; worshippers often brought heated rocks or pans of hot coals into their pews to keep themselves warm. * The bell tower was a more "modern" addition to the church as it was added on in 1802. * Stained glass from Tiffany was added in the 19th century. * The original church chest from 1713 is also in the church and can be seen on the tour. If you go: Admission prices are adults $5.00, children 6 through 12: $2.00 and children 5 & under: Free Tour times are January & February by appointment only and the rest of the year there are times from Wednesday-Saturday ranging from 10am-4pm based on when you come with the last tour starting at 3:30pm. The tour starts in the Hendrickson House which is a 1 1/2 story field stone farmhouse was built in 1690 by Andrew Hendrickson along the banks of the Delaware River in Chester Pennsylvania. It was scheduled to be demolished but was disassembled, moved and the reassembled in its current location in 1958. The church's archives/research library are located in a climate controlled basement below the house and can be seen by appointment Wednesday-Friday or during regular tour hours on Saturday. During the tour you are also shown parts of the Hendrickson House, then the burial grounds outside which predates the current church with the first burials occurring in 1638 and the oldest currently legible burial stone being from 1712. The one neat thing is that on the tour they very eagerly let you ring the bell in their 1802 bell tower. I think the guide said the bell is from the same foundry in London that the Liberty Bell came from but I could be wrong. Parking is limited as they have a very small cobblestone parking lot next to Hendrickson House that holds a few cars then it's on street parking. As an FYI, the area around the church is F-ing sketch. But don't let the ghetto aspect of the church's location deter you as the volunteers are great and the building and grounds are oozing with so much history and authenticity that it truly is a must visit.
