Exploring the Ancient Spanish Monastery a little deeper, today we at Blu Vacation Rentals want to offer a peek into the Cloisters of the Monastery of St. Bernard Clairvaux, a French monk who was declared the patron saint of beekeepers due to his sweet talk. Described as one of the most influential churchmen of his time (b: 1090, d: 1153), the church of the Monastery practices his teachings and beliefs and has continued to do so since his canonization in 1174. Take a walk through ancient history with us as we step inside the cool stone chapel that will be the most memorable part of your vacation experience.
All Who Present Themselves Are to Be Welcomed
Located at 16711 W Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach, the sentiments of St. Bernard are still taught here today, and the church believes that the charms and history of the Cloisters of the Monastery of St. Bernard Clairvaux restaurant deserve to be shared with all who visit. The peace you will discover when you step inside the chapel for the first time will linger long after you return to real life, and if you listen closely, you may hear the whispers of parishioners long past saying their prayers and the echoes of the hundreds of years of services that have been held here. On quiet days your footsteps on stone floors may echo into the arched ceilings, while on busier days it will be the noise of worship, celebration, and love that will drown out those same footsteps.
The Beauty of History
The stone arches and wrought-iron gates that greet you hearken back to the medieval days, and your first thought upon seeing the ancient monastery for the first time may be that of awe and disbelief that this is not the original setting of the cloisters. It hasn’t even been 100 years since reconstruction was finished, but the background of tropical Florida seems to impart the feeling that the monastery sprung from the earth all those centuries ago and when you enjoy a service in the ancient chapel, you too will be a part of the monastery’s history. Step inside and leave your disbelief at the door, because inside this structure, faith is everything, no matter what your beliefs.
