September 26 Visit to Church B

After photographing the desanctified church for months, I wondered if anyone had photographed it in detail before its demise.  I have no answer for this but after speaking with my mom, I thought I would photograph some active churches beginning with the church where my mother's grandparents were married.  I'll refer to it as Church B. The part of the church the congregation sees is beautiful but the behind-the-scenes views are more interesting.  The last image is of the now vacant ambry where holy oils used to be stored in the sacristy. I returned in October to make photos of the attic, basement, and other out of the way places.  I'll post those soon.
