We returned home from vacation. And today I'm spending a little time reflecting on our trip. It was a good relaxing vacation where we spent our days cruises Northeast to Maine and Canada. First we flew into Boston, Massachusetts, spending a day at Copley Square.
It's funny how with each vacation, we find ourselves visiting a place of worship. This time it was Trinity Church in Boston. A very old and beautiful edifice. As we walked Copley Square where a huge book festival was taking place, there stood Trinity church. We decided to go in. They have self-guided tours with audio assistance from just $10.00. Who could pass it up. Trinity was established in the 1600's and founded at the current location in 1733. It is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.

Many different artists were commission to complete the interior of the church. Each of them brought their own unique style and artistry to create a fantastic work of beauty. The stained glass windows alone where created by several different artisans.
I was very glad I decided to take the tour. It peaked my curiosity and I wanted to know more about the history of the church. (I'll research later.) While I was there though, I took several pictures. They don't do it justice, but you'll get the idea of how breathtaking it is.
