Description
This is the main altar of the Memorial Church of the Holy Sepulchre at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America in Washington, DC. A bit of the Holy Land is embodied by this Byzantine-style monastery in NE Washington, DC. The altar is covered by a large bronze baldachin or canopy supported by four columns, each containing three of the twelve apostles. Each column is also decorated by birds in honor of Saint Francis. The inside of the baldachin contains the words of the Ave Maria along with images of the life of Mary.
