I was taking pictures on Saturday in and around the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica. It's a cathedral because St. Louis is an archdiocese of the Catholic church and this is a great big building. It's a basilica because some Important Person in Rome decided that it's a significant church. I think they got around to that when the pope came here a number of years ago. As a recovering Catholic, I'm more interested in the art and architecture but since childhood I've had a fondness for the gorgeous ceremony - soft light, symbolic colors, grand ritual, the organ and choir, the scent and haze of incense.The catherdal is known for its sumptuous mosaics, more of which later. I rounded a corner into a side aisle and found this image.

Peaceful photo in a beautiful setting.
MAn, I sure know a lot of recovering Cotholics! I was never raised with a particular religion, so all religions and everything connected to them fascinates me. Lovely photo, I think the "common man" makes it perfect.
