Abstract:
Splendors of Faith showcases thirteen historic New Orleans Catholic churches of exceptional architectural and artistic beauty. Photographer Frank J. Methe provides sumptuously detailed color photographs of the churches' facades and their interior décor. Historian Charles E. Nolan offers detailed information about each edifice, its congregation, and the rich variety of art forms assembled over the years: stained glass, statuary, mosaics, paintings, stations of the cross, and more.
