Standing on Broadway at the very beginning of Wall Street is this
grand architectural accomplishment. A registered national landmark,
it was described the Mayor as the "glory of our City"
at the time of its consecration in 1846. Today it still "serves
as a center for contemplation, worship, and Christian community.
I live far enough from this site but may
very well pass by one day to attend service.
Many great individuals have worshipped at this church as have many
been laid to rest in its churchyard.
Also here, you'll find a bookstore, a museum and pamphlets which
will serve as great guides to the church itself.
Trinity Church's Spire rises over 25 stories above ground and the
cross alone is 6 feet long. Over 100 years ago it dominated the
lower Manhattan skyline. Mind you, this part of NYC at the time
was a great commercial port. Thus, one can just imagine how much
of a guide this structure was for ships coming in through the harbor.
So should you be in the area, pass on by and see for yourself what
this great church has to offer.
