Transcendence of beauty

Beauty in poetry, beauty in Song, beauty in music, beauty in any way helps us to transcend ourselves and to be open to something greater.   That is the goal of a beautiful church.  Recently I posted on the symbolism of a church, but sometimes the shear beauty is enough to raise your hearts and minds to God in worship.  Enjoy this different pictures of churches.  They are different styles, but I would still encourage you to find  symbolism in them.   Enjoy the beauty.

    #1 It reminds me of the parish in my youth where I was baptized and confirmed - Holy Name in Sheboygan, WI.
