A piece of JESUS’ CRUCIFIX, A POPE VISIT & INCREDIBLE STAINED GLASS, ARCHITECTURE and ART! THIS ONE CHURCH HAS IT ALL!

in #art7 years ago

Incredible architecture, right? Well, that’s just the beginning. At Our Lady of Loreto Church in Aurora, Colorado, this church not only feels grand but contains a couple of the most precious pieces of history.

Here in this Sunburst below Jesus’ feet lies a piece of his actual Crucifix from when he died on the Cross!

This church was also given a chair for the priests to sit on that Pope John Paul II sat on while visiting Denver back in 1993 during World Youth Day. It has been declared a relic.

Looking at the picture of above mounted behind the chair itself.

And take a look at the grand Architecture.

Such Massive beams.

And if that isn’t enough, look at the pipe organ!

And sculpture!

Stunning Alter…

Finally, these amazingly bright stained glass windows couldn’t go unnoticed during our visit. They depict some the Stations of the Cross!
