Built entirely of stone—no steel beams in sight—it’s like stepping straight into medieval Europe! 🏛️🌍 ⚜️ For History & Politics Buffs: This isn’t just a church—it’s a national place of remembrance. It has hosted presidential inaugural prayers and funeral services, including those for Dwight D Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his last Sunday sermon here in 1968 before his assassination. It’s also the final resting place of Helen Keller, the inspiring author and activist behind “Three Days to See.” 🙏✨ 🔍 Hidden Gems & Quirky Finds: • Darth Vader Gargoyle: A secret Star Wars villain hiding among the rooftop sculptures! 🦇⚔️ Finding it feels like a treasure hunt! • Space Window: The only stained-glass window in the world embedded with a real moon rock!
