This is St. Thomas Episcopal Church, and I was pretty much the only person in here on a recent Friday evening. That's most likely because everyone else was down the street at St. Patrick's Cathedral. (However, they probably get a few butts in the seats when its world-famous boys' choir is singing.) [To see more churches from around the world, go here.] |
It is interesting how modern artificial lighting and that high-relief sculpture can make huge stained-glass windows seem redundant. Speaking of becoming redundant: the beauty of the men and boys choir voices becomes poignant when one realizes how ephemeral those soprano voices can be. Yet, sadly, it was not always so.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking!! I will go into here the next time in NYC!!

ReplyDeleteI'd like to have my butt in one of those seats. Tom The Backroads Traveller
