George adjusts his glasses, and gives a little smirk.
"It's simple. This is, of course, 'Laying the faithful to rest'." He says. Now, on to the next step. Walking towards the head of the altar, George takes a good look at the candelabras there.

They seem to have shifted slightly. "So uh...how long do I need to be here?" Jessica follows George to the head of the altar without getting up.

Huh. George quietly wonders to himself about how things were put back into place, and removes the candelabras. Sure, someone else had to know, but there'd still need to be yet another person who would replace these things... unless it was by black magic, of course.
"Just for a little bit longer. As long as I'm correct about all of this, you'll need to be on there for several steps."

"Oh...uh...okay...." Jessica sighs. "What are we even doing? What was that just now?" Rosa examines the altar and picks up a candelabra, revealing a dial.

"It's easy, Aunt Rosa. This is how we're getting to the 'golden land'." George replies.
He reveals the other dials. Then, he turns them. After turning, he tugs on them a little. They should pull out...

With little resistance, the dials now slide out of their holes. Another clicking sound, and the sound of wood scraping against wood echos from a higher floor.

"Alright, now stay there. Just one more step and then you can get off." George says, heading upstairs and towards the sound.

He makes his way up to the second floor of the chapel. He finds himself at the top of the stairs, next to a door marked "Chaplin". No doubt an office. There is no lock on the door. Inside the office is a desk, covered in dust, and a light switch on the wall next to him.

It was an interesting touch, that was for certain. But George wondered what it's point was, considering, to his knowledge, they'd never had someone to make use of this place.
Well, that was a mystery for another day. George flips the switch.

The lights flicker as they come on, revealing the rest of the room more clearly. There's a bookcase to his left, a wardrobe to the right, and behind the desk is a painting. Three men are depicted on it, each of them has a halo. The painting is slightly askew.

Someone was here. Assuming his mother wasn't wrong about seeing the witch; or someone dressed like her enter this building.. someone still must have put everything back.
Setting aside the implications this left, George takes down the painting behind the desk.

Behind the painting is a newly-revealed small alcove containing a lever.

George pulls the lever.
On his way out, he glances inside the wardrobe.

having followed her son upstairs she looks at George with Wonder "how did you know any of this was here?"

As he pulls the lever down, there's a sound of grinding and a dull click. George looks into the wardrobe. Empty, not a sign of use..

Well, he didn't know what he was expecting. George heads back downstairs.
"Alright Jessica, you can get down now."

She does so, and as she does the pressure plate comes back up and clicks. A loud grinding sound echos as the altar slides backwards, revealing a staircase. "Wha- where does that go?"

George shrugs. "Whatever Grandfathers "golden land" is."
He tries to casually glance at Aunt Rosa, wondering if she had any reaction to all of this.

As the stairway is revealed, it clicks into place and Eva lets out a loud laugh before spinning on her heels to look at her son "George! why didn't you tell me? when did you solve father's riddle?"

George observes that Rosa's dumbstruck, that she likely had no idea this secret chamber existed.
