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.

Sts. Peter and Paul's Cathedral Basilica, Pécs, Hungary@photography@lemmy.world@photography@fedigroups.social#ReligiousStudies #TravelPhotography #christianity #religion #reisen #smartphonephotography #ChurchPhotography #Hungary #ungarn #ChurchArchitecture #architecture #ArchitecturePhotography

Straight-on view of one of the long sides of the very large, rectangular cathedral. The wall is of solid stone carved with Roman arches and simulated columns in relief its entire length. The roof is bluish-green, and there are four large, square, identical steeples rising at each corner. The sky is bright blue with wispy cirrus clouds.
