ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Thorncrown Chapel

Thorncrown Chapel is a very special and beautiful place where people go to pray, meditate or just admire the surroundings.

Imagine if you took all your favorite colors of crayons and started to build a small house with it. Thorncrown Chapel is like that! It is a tiny, cute wooden church with lots of colors and is full of pretty stained glass windows that light up when the sun shines.

When you go inside, you will find lots and lots of wooden beams, all woven together like a basket. These beams hold up a really cool roof made of clear, shiny glass. This lets you look up and see the trees and sky, but it also keeps you dry when it rains.

The chapel looks like it belongs in the forest, and it does! It's located in a big, beautiful forest with lots of different trees, animals and plants that you can see and hear all around you.

People from all over the world come here to take a deep breath and feel peaceful, especially because they feel close to nature inside the small church. It's a special and spiritual place that helps people feel calm and happy.
