St Mary's interior ca 1950
Title
St Mary's interior ca 1950
Description
Close up of St. Mary's church altar with the ornate marble altar placed so that the priest says Mass with his back to the congregation. Angels kneel on either side with multiple candles and a gold dome over the tabernacle. The ceiling dome frescoes have been replaced by paint and a border while the wall frescoes have been replaced by wall paper. The Altar rail is marble. The stained glass windows are the same as today: Mary at her mother Ann's knee; the Annunciation; the visit to Elizabeth.
This is the height of pre-Vatican II architecture.
Compare this photo with ID 22 when the church was first built in 1910.
