#83 Elegant

The elegant interior of Christ Church in Philadelphia plus the fact that this was Benjamin Franklin's church added to our worship experience. The members area very proud of their history and were willing/anxious to share the stories.
The lights on the chandelier are real candles. They were first (?) lit at Benjamin Franklin daughter's wedding. We could have listened to the organ all day - a beautiful sound.
Looking east toward the chancel, the chandelier (only lit at night) gives a stark silhouette against the white interior. We also found Benjamin Franklin's and George Washington's pews.
