|---|
| Notes: | Trinity Church, Boston, was completed in 1877. Its architect was H. H. Richardson, and numerous artists and craftspeople contributed to the interior design. In 1971, Trinity was designated a National Historic Landmark for "possessing "exceptional value in commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States." The eagle is a prominent symbol in scripture and Christian tradition, and is the symbol for the evangelist John. This representation evokes Christ as triumphant, resurrected and ruler over all earthly kingdoms (crown.) Donated by Anne Richardson, Nashville, TN. |
