The Crypt Church

A new part of the basilica for us: the Crypt Church, which we had missed on our first visit. It wasn’t as spectacular as the upper basilica, but seemed much more peaceful.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

*****

We decided to pay another visit to the basilica because we felt we hadn’t seen it all when we met Long and his wife Katherine there in April. It’s really a magnificent church that took almost 100 years to complete and draws visitors from all over the world. I’ll be posting pictures mainly of features we missed the first time around.
