Between 1930 and 1935 the whitewash on the walls was cleaned to reveal mosaics, which are among the most important examples of Byzantine art. - Pax Edited July 10, 2007 by EJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary chapel, Chicago, IL. Although the school closed last month , the chapel, which is modelled after the St. Chapelle chapel in France, will be preserved: 1) Full view of chapel looking forward: [img]http://www.windows.org/Gallery/qp1.jpg[/img] 2) Rose window/choir loft (partially obscured by lamp): [img]http://www.windows.org/Gallery/qp2.jpg[/img] 3) The altar: [img]http://www.windows.org/Gallery/qp3.jpg[/img] (When I saw the tapestry on the left in person at one of the farewell masses in March, I dubbed it "Our Lady of the Klingon Homeworld"). 4) One of the windows up close: [img]http://www.windows.org/Gallery/qp4.jpg[/img] 5) A view from the outside: [img]http://www.windows.org/Gallery/qp5.jpg[/img] It really is too bad that the apartment building next door blocked the natural sunlight for the windows above the altar.

Mercy me Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Do you mean Mont St. Michel which is on an island off France? I am still not convinced that with the list limited to just 7 wonders of the Catholic world that all would be churches. Buildings are fine but the Tilma of Juan Diego clearly has to be on the list.

I look in awe at it's beauty... and I can pretty much hear the sacred music just by looking at it. It is too bad that the sunlight is obstructed by a tall structure.

Totus Tuus Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Oh my goodness I'd have to do some [i]serious[/i] thinking to come up with my list. I have been to several places that I would put on the list, including an unknown church in Spain that was magnificent. Also I've been to Chartres. The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament would certainly be on it, and St. Joseph's in Montreal though I've not been there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
