Photos: St. Anthonys tour

Nearly twenty individuals attended the creative artisans' tour of St. Anthonys church on Sat, 2/2. The tour was led by parishioner and church historian Mike Mount.

 

The craftsmanship through the church is extraordinary as exemplified by the confesssionals and massive stained glass windows.

 The stained glass windows are original to 1904 structure and designed by Emil Frei.

Tour leader Mike Mount describes the symbolic elements in a painted icon located within a chapel that is along side the main alter of the church.

 At the conclusion of the tour several participants ate lunch at a large shared table at nearby Urban Eats, a diner that features a fusion of cuisines. Thanks to the St. Louis Drawing and Painting Meetup for posting the tour announcement and its members for the great turnout.
