This is the 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church, and it's worth checking out at least some of its history here. Right now, the exterior is undergoing a big renovation (you can see the scaffolding through the window at bottom right), necessitating the removal of the Celtic cross and clock tower atop the spire. It's a big job and the whole church is enveloped. [To see more churches from around the world, go here.] |

I became curious about the Celtic cross. The one Presbyterians use is called a Presbyterian cross. Someone explained the resemblance to the Celtic cross as: “The Celtic cross is used because the Presbyterian Church began in Scotland. It is an ancient cross from those parts. The circle is for eternity and unity.”
ReplyDeleteIt is nice how you cropped the photo to get the scaffolding in there. It balances the composition without it being too bilaterally symmetrical without it.
Inspires peace, serenity, faith in its traditional beauty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos church.

The stained glass window is lovely. This style always makes me think of a kaleidoscope.
