Churches and other religious buildings in Boston

[DZH22]

Catchall for pictures, favorites, etc. I'm surprised a thread like this didn't exist. My personal favorite is the Old South Church below.

However, the real reason I created this thread is I didn't know where else to post these pictures. Another church I like a lot (architecturally), the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Huge fan of the double spire.

I really like the First Church of Roxbury:

Isn't there a really good Boston view from the church grounds? Is the view open to the public? Saw a pic once but haven't actually been over there to see for myself.

I've like this one in Fenway, not sure why.

Maybe because it was designed by Ralph Adams Cram, usually known for his neo-Gothic churches. Inside it's quite plain, open and bright.

This Jew is loving these church pictures! - - Boston is fortunate to have so many of these truly beautiful and ornate older masterpieces.

I’ve only walked around the base, and I don’t remember there being any great views. If anything, it’s weird how wooded the square is kept.

Maybe if you can get into the steeple, and look out the windows?

Edit: seems like there’s a park across the street with good city views. If you go up that way, you should check out the Garrison house and the Rapunzel-looking tower in Highland Park!

Just want to shout out my home church (and where I was married), Gate of Heaven in Southie, which is tucked away in the neighborhood a bit but would probably be a cathedral on a main drag: https://goo.gl/maps/1KHaNKJLBUhsU7Zv7
