Trinity Church, located in Lower Manhattan, is a historic and iconic landmark that has stood the test of time. I had the pleasure of visiting this magnificent church on a recent trip to New York City, and I was thoroughly impressed by its beauty, history, and significance.
Upon entering the church, I was struck by the grandeur of the architecture and design. The soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass windows, and ornate details throughout the building are simply breathtaking. I was particularly moved by the stunning altar, which is adorned with intricate carvings and a beautiful depiction of the Last Supper.
One of the most impressive features of Trinity Church is its rich history. The church has been a cornerstone of New York City since its founding in 1697 and has played an important role in the city's development and growth over the centuries. I was fascinated by the stories of the church's famous congregants, including Alexander Hamilton and his wife, Eliza, who are buried in the churchyard.
During my visit, I also had the opportunity to attend a service at Trinity Church, and I was struck by the warmth and welcoming nature of the community. The music and liturgy were beautiful and uplifting, and I left feeling inspired and renewed.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Trinity Church to anyone interested in history, architecture, or spirituality. Whether you attend a service or simply explore the church and its grounds, you are sure to be moved by its beauty, history, and...
Read moreWe lived near NY city for almost 4 years and I always wanted to visit this historical place and I finally did, bit only after moving to the East coast 🙂 The location is unique - at the center of lower Manhattan, at the beginning of Wall Street, build many centuries ago. A lot of famous/important historical figures buried here (like Hamilton). Church was on renovation on August 2019, but still has some openings during the construction (from the main entrance and straight to the altar). It's remarkable inside and outside, especially moldings and stained-glass windows. Graveyard is well-groomed and they have this short fence along the walkways, so nobody cannot step onto the actual grave. There are a lot of tombstones where you just can't read anything as they almost vanished, but there are still many other where you can recognize a name, date of birth and when this person passed away, who was buried with this man (I noticed it's often spouse and young kids laying together in one place). Also, there is famous Hamilton memorial (and his spouse and kids). Area surrounded with cast iron fence and its usually closed during the not-public hours. Place is quite peaceful, although it's located in the middle of extremely...
Read moreA New York City sanctuary! This is sacred ground. It is still under careful renovations but go access what you may. Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan is an absolute must see, once the renovations are finished. It is rich in architectural history. This is historic New York at its best. The grave sites here go back to the 1700s, which in itself is amazing. Located on Broadway right near Wall Street, behind Liberty Park, this church somehow was saved from the tragedy of 911 and it was right next to it. It was as if God would not let anything happen to the church and the people buried there. I've been to this church several times and the inside of it is absolutely beautiful. It is a small cathedral that basically explains how important religion was at that time in NYC. I've even had the chance to light a candle there. It is very peaceful and tranquil and a reminder to all that visit, that regardless of the noise of the buildings around it, and the tragedy that once loomed, there is still a sanctuary that was untouched during the 911 mishap. Make sure you visit this Church, sometime soon. Cherish it. Very...
