Share Our World: Trinity Church (Boston)

avatar
(Edited)

While on a tour of the Boston Public Library the guide pointed out Trinity Church across the street and encouraged us to visit. I was so excited that it was open when I went. I purchased an audio tour and it was great!

This is an episcopal church that was built in 1872-1877. The architect was Henry Hobson Richardson and the style of architecture is Richardsonian Romanesque.

It is pretty cool that through Henry's ideas and vision a new style of architecture was created. One that incorporates 11th and 12th century southern French, Spanish and Italian Romanesque characteristics.

Stained Glass Windows

The church has some stunning stain glass windows.

Here are some of the other details around the church.

This high alter with the ornate cross and stained glass windows behind it was wonderful.

A gorgeous church and I highly recommend visiting if you are in Copley Square.

A church 😒 its architecture of XI XII years makes it an antique that must be maintained over time needless to say that the art is sublime so much I am not of those religions makes this close to heaven.

Wow, what an amazing building! Normally, I would only associate anything that grand and magnificent with an old European city... so wow!

Never been to Boston, but this would definitely be on the list of places to visit if we ever make it up to that corner of the world!

Thanks for the "virtual tour!"

A library is a place where we all want to visit because the books that are there increase our knowledge and the way we see the very special and beautiful pictures created by the artist. Yes, it takes a lot of effort and time to make them, then they look so beautiful.

The architectural design of this church makes it look like a museum. It is so beautiful.

It breathes of the richness of the Romania culture. This antique should be set as a tourist destination for people who loves rich culture and wants to explore the beauty of great architecture!

Thanks for the picture tour.

Wow, this church is looking so beautiful with these different colours. I will visit it when I get a chance to visit Boston. It's a must-visit place @sjarvie5, the art made on the mirror is attracting me a lot. Hats off to the painters/artists who have made it.
