St. Joseph Basilica Stained Glass Window Informal Walking Tour
Sunday, February 23 at 1:00 p.m.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of St. Joseph Basilica. As part of its Centennial Celebration, St. Joseph Basilica will host an informal walking tour of the Basilica’s historic stained glass windows, led by art historian Dr. Frank DeStefano, on Sunday, February 23 at 1:00 p.m.
Dating back to 1920, St. Joseph Basilica was built during a period of religious revival and artistic renaissance in church art and architecture following the First World War. As such, the windows are considered an artistic treasure and a memorial to a short-lived American artistic renaissance.
All are welcome to take part in the walking tour, during which Dr. DeStefano will discuss the meaning and significance of the windows. The tour is expected to last for one hour.
