Saint Paul's Chapel



I'm still finding pictures from New York to post. Here are a couple from St. Paul's Chapel. It's right across the street form the World trade Center. Here's a quote from their web site.

"After the attack on September 11, 2001, which led to the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, St. Paul's Chapel served as a place of rest and refuge for recovery workers at the WTC site.

For eight months, hundreds of volunteers worked 12 hour shifts around the clock, serving meals, making beds, counseling and praying with fire fighters, construction workers, police and others. Massage therapists, chiropractors, podiatrists and musicians also tended to their needs."

There are probably thousands of fire, police and military patches from all over the world on a display in the chapel.
