Description

Black and white print 5"h x 7"w of interior of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Church in Leonardtown.

The sanctuary lamp that is always lighted hangs just to the right of the tabernacle. Both doors to the sacristy are open. The altar arch frames a painting of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. There is very elaborate woodwork on the walls and ceiling and the altar has four carved pillars. Elevated on each side of the altar is a statue of a saint holding a child. The altar rail is very dark. ******************************************* Written on the verso in pencil: "[St. Aloysius Church altar]" This piece was the bottom image on page 18 of the dark red photograph album.
