An
intriguing trend in webcams is the proliferation of
religious webcams. The Internet is a great tool for the
world's spiritual community to spread the word and the
way. This collection will highlight religious and
spiritual sites from all belief systems. It will
also deal with the spirit world of
less traditional beliefs. It will be about the unseen as
much as the soul. I believe in the power of Faith. If a
visit to one of the sites helps you to grow in Faith then
I will have done my job.

| The Monks of Adoration Chapel | One of the tenets of Catholicism is that Jesus resides in the Holy Euchrist, the communion bread and wine. This happens as the priest blesses the gifts in what is called consecration. This consecration alters the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus through transubstantiation. The consecrated hosts are kept on the altar in a container called the tabernacle. Churches and monasteries will conduct prayer vigils before the tabernacle. Some of these are continual 24/7 while others are held periodically like the first Friday of the month. This site is a view of such an Adoration. | |||||
