Emmitsburg Basilica - in detail...

This is a detail of the statue of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton that stands on the altar dedicated to her in the Basilica.





This is a detail of the crucifix that is hanging above the sanctuary:

In the four corners of the arches that go up into the ceiling of the basilica, there is a mosaic of each of the Gospel authors. Here is a detail of the mosaic of St. John.

This is the Gethsemane Chapel, a beautiful place to sit in quiet prayer. The wall is curved covered in a mosaic scene.

A detail of the statue of Jesus in the Gethsemane Chapel. You can see the beautiful colors of the mosaic behind...
