Bach’s Magnificat, BWV 243 in D Opus 9 Esurientes click the arrow below

Someone asked recently, what were the most popular churches that we have visited. Being a former life insurance person, I was stumped by that question. And in the insurance business when you’re stumped, you are trained to ask an open ended question (one that can’t be answered by a yes or a no). So I asked this question: “Are you asking what are my favourite churches or what are the favourites of our visitors?” The answer came back: “Well, I want to know what are the most popular churches of your visitors?”

Wow! I know the answer to that because I check several times every day who is visiting, where they are from and what they are looking at. I could provide all sorts of statistics and information about who are visitors are. Since I’m not a politician, I decided to answer the questions directly. and this is what came out of that discussion.

The top six (6) churches according to our visitor statistics are:

Number 1: Oton’s Church of the Immaculate Conception

Church of the Immaculate Conception, Oton

Old Oton Church Main Altar
