Description

Physically and spiritually beautiful church

The Catholic Church of Our Savior is a historic religious site in its own right. Housing its beautifully crafted tabernacle, the church offers a bit of its Spanish history with its Renaissance style.

The Church of Our Savior tabernacle lies on a platform of Italian red marble, which matches the French Languedoc stone of the sanctuary columns. These are said to be the largest uncut, polished marble columns in New York City. The supporting columns are in a Byzantine ("bosé") style, similar to the supports of the High Altar.
