This is the second post from my trip to Montreal. We went to St. Joseph Oratory (here’s another link from wikipedia) right after our visit to Mont-Royal Park. It was already dark when we got there, and they just finished the Christmas Mass.
I like the architecture. It’s a Roman Catholic basilica dedicated to St. Joseph. Many people go there to pray to be healed. There are a lot of crutches on display along the wall there .. they say they’re from handicapped people who were healed.
We did a little tour since it was almost closing time, so I only have one pic of the stained glass windows. There are 8 stained glass windows (that look like this one) in the Crypt Church (completed in 1919 by the workshop of Pedriau and O’Shea). They represent the episodes in the life of St. Joseph, this one represents “Jesus’ Circumcision”:
Next time I’ll go around and take pics of all 8 of them!!!!
More pics in my Montreal flickr set.
