Psalm 81:2

Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. - Psalm 81:2

One of the things I found most interesting about this churche's stained glass windows is that they used white for all the skin tones.

Saul At The Stoning Of Stephen

Acts 7:54-60 The Stoning of Stephen 

When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

Saul On The Road To Damascus

And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven: and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man. And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink. — Acts 9:3–9, ASV

Baptismal Fount - St. Paul's

I am finding more and more ornate baptistries in the churches. I thought this one was pretty cool.

Also thought I would have some fun in the editing room.

St. Paul in Stained Glass

The St. Paul's Catholic Church large stained glass windows depict the scenes from Paul's life. Some of which I was familiar and some that I was not. I thought I'd start out with just a close-up of the Saint himself.

Vintage Holy Water

Most of the Holy Water containers I find in the churches are stainless steel. I was pretty excited to find this vintage porcelain one still in use.
