Art is coming back to churches
Churches all over the country are experiencing a resurgence in demand for artistic and decorative interiors. Beginning in the 1960's many churches had stripped-down and simplified much of their interior sacred and worship space. Removing the large marble altars, statues and stained glass windows that they had been known for.
Different churches had different reasons for this, but for the appreciator of architectural art, it was conclusively unfortunate.
This has been changing in the last several years, and many churches have chosen to bring back some of the traditional decorative elements that they had been known for.
Many of the results are absolutely beautiful...
Here is an article about this movement and some examples of specific renovations;
