It's been a busy season for the "Halo" singer, having just finished her "On The Run" tour with Jay Z.  

But it was capped off with some well earned rest as the couple and their daughter, Blue Ivy, spent a few days visiting Paris.  

And the much needed down time appeared to include a quiet moment in what apeared to be a church.  

Beyonce shared a snap of the three of them in front of rows of candles.  While skimpy outfits and plenty of hip-swaying dance routines are usually part of her stage performances, Beyonce was demure and elegant in the visit wearing a pretty patterned shirt and dark pencil skirt. 

The shot was taken with their backs facing the camera, perfectly setting Blue Ivy's adorable locks against the light of the candles.     

Beyonce recently opened up more about her spiritual side and her faith in God in a poem entitled "Bey the Light", in which she spoke of her desire to be used by God to heal people's pain.  

The poem, "Bey the Light", was published in CR Fashion Book and in it she talks about seeing a TV preacher when she was a scared child and putting her hand to the TV to receive his prayer. 

"That's the first time I remember prayer, an electric current humming through me," she wrote.  

She also points to a sense of divine calling in her music career and how she wants God to use it to help those who are hurting.  

"You call me a singer, but I'm called to transform, to suck up the grief, anxiety and loss of those who hear me into my song's form," she writes.

"I'm a vessel for all that isn't right, for break-ups and lies and double-cross. I sing into that vessel a healing light.  To let go of pain that people can't bear. I don't do that myself, I call in the light. I summon God to take me there."

Earlier this year, Beyonce's pastor Rudy Rasmus recalled how the global superstar used to sing on the platform at the front of his church, St John's Methodist Church Houston. 

While Beyonce may not be in town so often, he says she has been "extremely helpful" to the church's ministry. 

Her support has included funding a $7m apartment complex to house 42 men and women who were formerly without a home.
