we took a cab on wednesday. we wanted to have at least one ride in a new york taxi.

he took us to the front door of st. patricks cathedral.



mass was going on so we couldn’t sit in the pews, but we could walk around the perimeter.



these murals, which are on all the walls, are all made out of mosaics.

this is for you mom. since i was a child i saw this picture in your wallet. i have it in my wallet now.



i lit a candle for you mom, praying you are in peace. we left a small donation as i know you would have.

we took another taxi to mood.
stay tuned, jilly
You took some wonderful pictures. The place was so sacred everywhere we looked… but ONE bathroom? You keep reminding me of how special this trip is.
yes, i forgot we went into the confessional to pee.
I love the sense of something very sacred in Catholic churches. Then you went from a holy mood to Mood.
St. Patrick’s so beautiful. I loved the way the light shown upon the alter. Thanks for the tributes to Mom, Jill. I too remember Mom carrying the Blessed Mother with her. A sweet reminder of our wonderful Mom.
I liked the connections to Grandma. I miss her.
wow…so pretty😍
Lovely. And sweet reminders of Grams.
