Spiritual pilgrims of all persuasions should enjoy this super
historical virtual on Nob Hill. Is open every day, but not 24 hrs a
day.
Placed after Ash Wednesday services 2/25/04. The coords take you to
the replica of the Ghiberti "Doors of Paradise", fashioned after
the originals in Florence (though coords are spotty, you can easily
find the bronze doors). This is just one of the masterpieces on
this site. To claim a find, go inside the large structure (building
here started in 1928) and email me the name of the "popular" saint
represented in the larger-than-life sculpture to the left of the
indoor labyrinth and the font. ALSO give me the sculptor's name (he
was from SF) and dates of his birth/death. Allow time to visit the
marvelous art of this spiritual place, gift shop/café and
the indoor and outdoor labyrinths, and rest and reflect for a
while. The Thursday Choral Evensong service is breathtakingly
beautiful! This site is also featured in a less spiritual context
in one of the hilarious "Tales of the City" books by Armistead
Maupin.
