Pretty pictures of beautiful things in and around the church on the otherwise emotional day of my mother’s funeral.
The smoke on incense catching the light in front of the altar, the simple altar and long elegant stained glass, a splendid bright stained glass, fern in stone wall.

"Woodlawn sits on 400 rolling acres ornamented with 1,300 such private family mausoleums, including extravagant Gilded Age temples erected for captains of industry, robber barons and the merely very wealthy.

The decorations around the doorway and on the window lintels are also nicely in keeping with traditional tenement architecture and help blend the building in with the older buildings which surround
64lbs of costly candle wax was allocated to the #ClareCastle chapel for the feast of #Candlemas, a favourite of the #LadyOfClare, when light blazed in midwinter & candles were brought to be blessed.
She would have been familiar with this #CanterburyCathedral window depicting the Presentation of Christ in the Temple - very tall candles here!
