Saint Paul's in Harvard Square

St. Paul's in Harvard Square is my official off-island church home these days, and a couple of months ago, as part of a calendar project I was asked to help out with, I was turned loose with my camera in this magnificent church which is constructed of hand-carved marble, imported from Italy. The place is so massive and so spectacular that even after having spent three afternoons and many hours exploring, photographing, and viewing the columns and arches and porticoes from every angle, I felt as though I'd only scratched the surface.

St. Paul's is also home to a world renowned boys' choir school, directed by John Robinson. The boys chant the daily Mass and sing in a combined boys and men's choir on Sunday mornings. Heavenly (hint: run the recording while viewing the photos).
