RE: Lincoln Museums/Attractions
I was just going to delete my post, however, I am glad you feel the same. The statues are truly wonderful, as I find Lincoln's speeches and references therein to religious views.
Also I have to correct myself partly - I have at least online seen a Lincoln bust in a church and - shame on me - even posted about it. This one was much smaller however and the background less "gothic", so I didn't get the "Catholic saint" feeling/memory from seeing it: http://rogerjnorton.com/LincolnDiscussio...age-7.html Re.: "However, statues of Washington and Lincoln are the most harmless thing you will get to see in the National Cathedral that is home to many pieces of art inside and outside. There are gargoyles and some fictional character from a Star Wars movie depicted there...it is actually great fun!" - is it a real "functional" church then at all? |
