Hey, hey! 60 Minutes is interviewing Archbishop Dolan of NY, and they showed the archbishops’ mausoleum in the crypt under St. Patrick’s Cathedral. And guess who I saw right in the wall with them!
The body of Venerable Pierre Toussaint! Awesome!
His body’s been there since 1990, but it’s the first picture I’ve seen of the crypt or his place in it.
…only thought Pharaohs and Vampires were in crypts…show’s ya how much I know…
This is why people like to use soothing terms like “undercroft” and “basement”. But cathedrals usually have crypts, and with tombs in ‘em! (Also chapels and crypt churches and meeting rooms and storage, but it can’t be all bones and Gothic darkness.)
