  • 14 AUGUST 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A stained glass window at Holy Rosary Church in the Talat Noi section of Bangkok. Holy Rosary Church, Wat Mae Phra Luk Prakham, is also known as Kalawar Church. The church was built with a land grant from King Rama I in 1786, about four years after Bangkok was established as Siam's capital. Many Catholic Vietnamese and Cambodians fled to Bangkok during the wars in Indochina and adopted this church as their main house of worship. It has been rebuilt twice. The present church was built in the late 1890s. The cream-colored church has a towering spire and European style stained-glass windows.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
