Les Magnifiques Portes

Today's Sunday Church Series takes us back to the lovely Église St. Madeleine.  I'm featuring this  photograph because I think it illustrates the immense size ( 33' high X 15' wide),  as well as the bas reliefs of the Ten Commandments on these magnificent bronze doors.  (Taken in November 2008, you can see the renovation scaffolding as well.)

La Madeleine

Today's Sunday Churches of Paris is the beautiful Église de la Madeleine, named in honor of St. Mary Magdalene. We were fortunate to be in Paris during the Fête de la Musique. Genie, Marie and I attended a choral concert of classical music there in the evening. Hearing the voices of sixteen young women in this exquisite setting was a night I will never forget. I took this photograph shortly before the concert began.

Eglise St. Pantaleon

On Tuesday we visited the lovely city of Troyes, France. It was so charming and we elbowed each other trying to get the perfect shot! This group is starting to get competitive!!! Here are a few of the many photos I took.
