Wordless Wednesday - Seminary Finds


All of today's photo's were taken at Immaculate Conception Seminary located in Lloyds Neck, NY. This Seminary had been training Catholic Diocesan priests for over 75 years. It is is situated on the famous "Gold Coast" of Long Island on land that comprised two family estates back in the "Gatsby" days. Hand painted fresco's abound throughout the space. This particular one is located above the door leading into and out of the crypt chapel.





Showing some of the intricate hand painting on the ceiling in the crypt chapel.



This is one of the stalls located in the crypt chapel. Each one is dedicated to a particular saint. The priests say private Mass in the stalls.



This beautiful rose window is hand made stained glass. It is located in the main chapel over the choir loft.



The artwork is phenomenal as the picture above shows.
