LOL. I though...Now why did I think you might ask? LOL. I thought you might. Utah has one entry, the Cathedral of the Madeleine. It's a rather long entry or I would type it out for you. Some highlights:<br />Beautiful art, "It is very much like stepping inside in Italy where Renaissance masters labored." <br />Designed by the most prominent architect of his day, John Theodore Comes who designed the shrine of St. Mary Magdalene and the other shrines in the church to a "complex-but-harmonious" effect.<br />Visitors may find the Stations of the Cross "a bit jarring" (post Vatican II inspired).<br />Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is covered with paintings of saints and angels, "with a vault painted with a dazzling array of golden stars. The tabernacle is a soaring tower like in German churches from the Middle Ages.<br /><br />Sounds wonderful Guided tours are offered. If I'm ever in Salt Lake again I will have to check it out.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-42922083500173150772017-12-16T21:29:20.487-05:002017-12-16T21:29:20.487-05:00Cathedreal?
