St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Richmond, VA

When we headed to Richmond last week, the map showed a parking lot a few blocks away from the Capitol.  We didn't spend as much time at the Capitol as we had expected because the parking lot turned out to be a parking deck under St. Paul's Episcopal Church - which is beautiful.

 

 
Dear husband's panorama:

  
The stained glass windows are wonderful (dear husband took most of the window photos):


 

 
Although this window is about Moses, we called it the Joseph window because of the resemblance to the actor who played Joseph in the musical:
 
 

The church is steeped in Confederate history, which I'm too tired to remember at this point. 
 

 

I eventually sat in the balcony...
 

...enjoyed listening to the organist practice... (this photo taken by dear husband)
 

...and looking at my favorite stained-glass window.
 
A concern of churches everywhere:

Thank you both! We really enjoyed visiting - it's such a beautiful church. And your husband's music was beautiful too!

In addition to the beauty of the Tiffany windows and altar, the wonderful organ and the 1845 architecture, each Sunday and throughout the week--you see this beauty reflected in the faces of a congregation committed to making a difference in downtown Richmond and throughout the city. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You're welcome! We'd love to visit some Sunday when we're back in Richmond again (which will happen because there are so many wonderful things to do there).
