That church is absolutely gorgeous—and reminds me of how Catholic Churches used to look.

Thanks for posting……..

Our church, St. Thomas in Coeur d’Alene, ID, is beautiful.

Eastern Orthodox, Coptic, Chaldean churches etc are spectacular.

I was at an Eastern (Romanian) Orthodox church in Detroit a while back and they don’t leave a square inch uncovered. The priest explained that the church is like a physical representation of a soul and every fiber of a believer’s being should be dedicated to praising, thanking, and worshiping God. He said that the church reflects that.

I’m Protestant so plain and humble is what I know but I really like the artistry of the Orthodox churches.

It's the way a Catholic Church should look! Call me old fashioned but I prefer the old and true.
