There was a fire in December 2001 (as if New York City had not had enough that year) which caused a good portion of the church to be partitioned off. Today was the first time I saw it completely opened and it was magnificent.

For some reason the way the lighting was today, the outside of the church against the sky made it look like a 2 dimensional matte painting for a Hollywood movie. Quite surreal to behold. The sculpture here depicts heaven and hell and is surrounded by mini sculptures of Noah's Arc.
We also rewarded ourselves with a stroll through Morningside Park. It is an amazingly beautiful park and I have always loved the backdrop of it and do not go there often enough. But it does also possess a melancholy memory for me and I was surprised how it made me sad today as well! Oy vey NOOOO!
