The Church of St. Francis of Assisi at Vilnius, Lithuania.
This is a rather public way of going to confession, isn't it?
========================================================
From signage in the church:
Between 1764 and 1781 the church was fitted with an ensemble of late Baroque fixtures: the pulpit, confessionals, pews and eleven altars. The ensemble displayed stylistic harmony, as well as a singleness of purpose-drawing attention to the main altar.
[The main altar] now contains the Crucifix that had previously hung above the altar of the Holy Cross. The cross was known to bestow special grace, and it was at this time that the fresco depicting this Crucifix was painted on the façade of the church. The identity of the person who designed the new interior furnishings is not now known. The interior was executed by several joiners (Giotto, Holtzas, Valteris and others are mentioned). Paintings for the altars were done by . . . a person with the surname Motiejus.
Between 1764 and 1768 Mikaloju Jansonas, a renowned organ builder of the day, restored the church organ and moved it from the side nave to a platform constructed at the back of the presbytery (choir). (At the end of the 19th century the organ was reconstructed once again and moved to the old balcony of the Bernardines.)
From the middle of the 18th century until the end of the 20th century the architecture and furnishings of the church remained largely unchanged. When the church was closed during the Soviet years, the painting over the altar, the liturgical vessels and other fixtures were scattered among museum collections or given to other churches.
The altar ensemble, which was disassembled for reconstruction has only been partially restored. In response to present-day liturgical requirements, a new altar created by Rimas Skakalauakas was constructed in 1998 and placed in the central nave of the church. The altar echoes the lines and shapes of the old Gothic belfry.

From Wikipedia:
The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard (also known as Bernardine Church) is a Roman Catholic church in the Old Town of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is located next to St. Anne's Church. Dedicated to Saints Francis of Assisi and Bernardino of Siena, it is an important example of Gothic architecture in Lithuania.
History
After their arrival in Vilnius, Bernardine monks built a wooden church in the second half of the 15th century, and at the end of the same century - a brick one.
In the early 16th century it was reconstructed, apparently with the participation of a master from Gdansk (Danzig) Michael Enkinger.
In the beginning of the 16th century the church was incorporated into the construction of Vilnius defensive wall, so there are shooting openings in its walls.
Afterwards it was renewed many times, particularly after the 1655-61 war with Moscow, when the Cossacks ravaged the church killing the monks and citizens who had taken shelter there.
In the times of the Soviet occupation it was closed down and handed over to the Art institute.
In 1994, the brethren of St. Francis returned to the church.
Church and Monastery are some of the largest sacral buildings in Vilnius, although in the 17th and 18th centuries they acquired the Renaissance and Baroque features.
Being much larger and more archaic than the St. Anne's Church, it forms and interesting and unique ensemble with the latter.
Gothic pointed-arch windows and buttresses stand out on the façade. Above them rises a pediment with twin octagonal towers on the sides and a fresco depicting the Crucifix in the middle niche.
A Gothic presbytery is the oldest part of the church. Eight high pillars divide the church interior into 3 naves.
There are many valuable 16th-century wall paintings in Bernardine church and the oldest known artistic Lithuanian crucifix sculpture from the 15th century. [2]
The walls of the naves are decorated with Gothic polychrome frescoes, partly uncovered in 1981 - dynamic, colourful figural compositions on biblical and hagiographic themes, with occasional inscriptions in Gothic characters, floral ornaments, heraldic insignia etc.
These mural paintings date from the early 16th century and are considered unique in the world: their composition and type of presentation of the subject matter belongs to Renaissance, and the stylistics - to the Gothic style. [3]
The Bernardine monastery north of the church, built simultaneously with the church, was renovated and reconstructed several times. Since its founding, a novitiate and a seminary operated at the monastery, a rich library had been accumulated, and a scriptorium operated. There [were] artists, craftsmen and organists among the monks. The monastery was closed in 1864, and the building housed soldiers' barracks. In 1919 it was given to the art faculty of the university, later - to the Art Institute (now the Art Academy).

During Passiontide, we are reminded to avail ourselves of the great Sacrament of Mercy. In confession, the Lord comes with his abundant grace to forgive us of our sins, to reconcile us to Him and through Him to the entire Church, and to heal us of the wounds of our sins.
This is a photo of a confessional in a church in Rome.
A confessional is a small, enclosed booth used for the Sacrament of Penance, often called confession, or Reconciliation. It is the usual venue for the sacrament in the Roman Catholic Church, but similar structures are also used in Anglican churches of an Anglo-Catholic orientation, and also in the Lutheran Church. In the Catholic Church, confessions are only to be heard in a confessional or oratory, except for a just reason (1983 Code of Canon Law, Canon 964.3).

Alegorical figures on confessionals urge you to repent for your sins!
These figures represent death, as evidenced by the bones in the arm of the left-most figure, the skull overhead and the skull in the figure on the right.
It might further represent the death of sin - a state which is hopeless and separates you from eternal life with Jesus. This extra, eternal death is represented by the snake curving through the skull. The snake tempted Adam and Eve away from God, into sin. Jesus died to free us from that sin. Don't let him down by failing to confess!
Either that or the Jesuits are also members of New England College secret societies.

JFDI catch up Challenge 13.
So challenge 13 is to confess 13 things that nobody knows about. O.K my husband probably doesn't know the first one ( deep breath in )
1, If I feel low or sad I still suck my thumb. I'm 37.
2, I have a thing about my pillow, Well one pillow case in particular. It's soft and lovely and smells lush. Ewwww bit now, it doesn't get washed as often as it should do but I love it.
3, When I was younger ( junior school ) I used to tell people my Dad was a police man. P.C Britchford. In fact that bit wasn't a lie ... His name is Peter Charles :o)
4, I smell everything. It doesn't matter what it is... I smell it.
5, I also have a thing about putting things in holes to see if they fits.... Mostly fingers but a coupe of months back I put a paracetamol up my nose to see if it fitted... It did.... but when I tried to get it out I pushed it up further, I ended up going to the doctors to see if the nurse could get it out with tweezers... like me she pushed it up further and I was told to go to A&E after listening to her laughing like mad... I turned into the car park of the hospital to be blinded by the sun which made me sneeze and the pill shot out and landed on the dash board.
6, I can't help it but I over apologise. Even if it's not my fault I'll say sorry ...... I'm very sorry about that.
7, I really love a good scab. I love picking it clean off. It doesn't even have to be my own.
8, I'm not very good at opening up with emotional stuff. I'm always the life and soul of the party and absolutely love to make people laugh but when it comes to talking about feelings and the like I close up and keep it in until I let it all out in one big BANG.
9, After losing my daughter I had a huge problem with class A drugs (amphetamine mainly) and used everyday for 2 1/2 years. I woke up one morning and thought I don't want to do this anymore and I stopped just like that. That was bloody hard but I did it and that was 11 years ago.
10,I really really REALLY hate moths and squirrels. They scare the shizzang out of me.
11,My favorite film is Miss Potter. I have watched it 100's of times.
12, Farting.... I love it... I find it hilarious. It tells me and my husband when we are both awake... he farts and I answer him by farting back. That's love that is :oD
13, Finally...... I HATE and I mean H A T E shopping of any kind.... full stop.
The End.
Couldn't resist creating a picture illustrating a wonderful story emailed to me yesterday.
My thanks to whoever wrote the gag - my sort of humour exactly!

I'm not totally sure, but I believe this is a confessional booth. I didn't see anyone brave enough to enter it.
