Oh, okay. The post you quoted was referring to a different picture that is no longer there
The Brazil Church is a nice building… not a nice church, though!
The beautiful church thread: please post photos / links to beautiful Catholic churches!

The Church which has Perpetual Adoration here in Knoxville, TN, St. John Neumann. This is the dome and pendentives. I love the Holy Spirit right in the center.

I’ve never seen Stations of the Cross like these before.

Yes I found it thanks so much the one from Brazil. I think it is quite spectacular! I can only imagine it’s quite a different feeling being there then in a more traditional church.If you follow the links back, it’s from a year and a half ago. (It’s always risky to reply without looking at the date!)

This isn’t exactly a church, but it’s still beautiful:

Outdoor Shrine of Christ’s Passion in Indiana. I want to go there.
There’s also a Sanctity of Life Shrine:

And a Marian Wayside Shrine:

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Well, it was built in 1954 I think. And the Passion Shrine was built in 2001. So I’d say yes

The biretta gave me a hint
Haha, that is good. At our church, we have a “Tomb for the Unborn”. Maybe I’ll take a picture of it next week and post it.And the Passion Shrine was built in 2001. So I’d say yes

If you’re ever on I-40 driving through Texas, take an hour and drop in at Groom. You won’t regret it.

I’ve traveled along there going to Cali; it really is the perfect rest stop. I think the story of the place and how it got started is amazing.

Blessed Trinity - Buffalo, NY. Perhaps the most perfect replica of a Medieval church in the United States (Catholic, at least).

The structure is constructed of medieval, handmade, Harvard (unmolded) brick set in a variety of patterns. During medieval times, most bricks were made without molds. The clay was mixed with water in a shallow pit, then cut into shape for bricks. After they were shaped and sun-dried, the bricks were stacked for firing. Wood was piled neatly all around the bricks and a fire was kept burning until the bricks were thoroughly baked. The outer bricks were often coal black and the inner ones rich reds and oranges. The medieval method also produced bricks in various shapes, some regular and some irregular. To use all the bricks made, medieval bricklayers used odd-shaped bricks, sometimes working their own patterns here and there into the construction.

The Cathedral of the Archdiocese of St. Paul Minnesota. I was married in the Cathedral and I remember as a child the first time I went to the Cathedral and I was in awe of the magnificent architecture. I got shivers up and down my spine as I looked up at the sheer height of the ceiling. I love this Cathedral it is so beautiful.
