High altar and tabernacle tower, Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Notre Dame, Indiana [OC]@photography@lemmy.world@photography@fedigroups.social#ReligiousStudies #TravelPhotography #christianity #catholicism #religion #reisen #smartphonephotography #ChurchPhotography #indiana #notredame #in

elegantly lit church apse with rows of upholstered chairs in foreground and, in background, lady chapel with frescoed dome and a virgin statue in blue wall niche. behind the chairs is the altar: a roughly coffin-sized bronze(?) box or platform with roman arches and other architectural designs. atop the altar is the tabernacle tower: a roughly 3-meter shiny gold tower resembling a castle with a lamb standing on top, and rising from the lamb is a large steeple.
