I just happened to be scrolling and came up on this tour. As a Catholic kid who spent every Sunday evening here at Sunday school with my siblings, I am awash with emotions right now. I feel joy, anger, and bewilderment as the memories of my childhood days rush back in vivid color. Christmas time here was heavenly; the building were grand and it felt like you were in ancient Rome. Christmas trees with the most unique blue and green lights, the smell of the pine trees, the games we played on the most impeccably manicured lawns, the Christmas movies, the gifts with our names written on them and how our priests called us up each by name; how they made us believe in the magic of Christmas. I still recall the beautiful homilies being chanted, the sound of the Ave Marie coming out of those walls, I recall the smell of frankincense and myrrh, trees that I believe may have been weeping willows as the branches bent so low they almost touch the ground. Every now and then I have dreams of this place. I often wonder, though, where is that huge, hauntingly beautiful cemetary. It was too beautiful to be scared of it - mostly intriguing trying to read the inscriptions on the headstones. This is where my feelings of anger come in. I regard this place as sacred ground and to see that the cemetery is nowhere to be found, is sickening. I do appreciate however, the effort to preserve what's left of Bellevue and saddened that the Catholic church had to sell it. One will never understand what this place meant to us Catholic kids and families back then. SMF

[@elizabethnewman1017]

Hi. It is intriguing to hear of your memories of the Bellevue property. I wonder if the property we acquired was smaller than what it used to be in your childhood. We were determined to save as much of what was here. There was never any sign of a cemetery. I wish I knew of it!

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Hi Berniececiel, sorry for the late response. Please see comments from Elizabeth re your query. Thanks so much for coming along with us and for telling us about your memories. Blessings!

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thank you for joining us!!

[@contemplative2012]

Structures do retain some of their charm through the years, even in the state of ruins. The natural art goes very well with this setting, so too the little plants growing where they please. The effect of the clustering of the plants is uplifting. This is a very intriguing space.

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thanks for coming with us !!

This was so very lovely to watch. Of all the properties I've seen and experienced in Jamaica, this is by far my favorite. The way the older elements are incorporated with the newer, and the lushness of the gardens. I am absolutely smitten. If I lived here I wouldn't want to leave.

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thanks for coming along!

[@camilejames2609]

Thanks for the tour my friend!!! The garden is beautifully serene and flows so effortlessly. It gives the impression that if there is a need for words, they should only be whispered as any loud sound might disturb the ambiance.

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thanks for visiting with us !! Did you hear me whispering in awe at times !!?

[@elizabethnewman1017]

😊Well said.... thank you.

[@alleanarechilmarak7640]

Sister I am overwhelmed seeing the video of a beautiful garden.Who does watering the plants ? Or don't they need?

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thanks for watching ! The area is mostly cool and a lott of the plants are fairly heat tolerant.

[@elizabethnewman1017]

Lots of time moving sprinklers and hoses around! Boy am I happy when it rains.😊

[@pzozzie]

beautiful but I can't help but wonder what they do when hurricanes comes by and the house is so open. Id assume the wind drives the rain in unless they have hurricane shutters to cover it up.

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thanks for watching! They have that covered !

[@elizabethnewman1017]

Yes, hurricane shutters are a must!

[@modcorriette1214]

I thought the ginger is called weeping ginger

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

Thanks for watching and for your suggestion. I looked it up, and it seems to be Dancing Girl Ginger .

[@heatherroyes1601]

Wasn't that St Michaels Seminary?

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

It was !! Thanks for watching!!

[@elizabethnewman1017]

Yes, the Catholic Church owned it back in the 60's.

[@viveneene8005]

Can I get my steps done like that, please and thanks?

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

I'm sure you can!! Thanks for watching!!

[@dianegrimes3975]

It's still amazing how much wealth the slaves enabled the Europeans rich lifestyle!! Wow

[@hhgstudiosjamaica]

It's good to know that now several of the residents of St. Michael's are descendants of the slaves.
