Explore Buffalo Visits Blessed Trinity
Sunday, October 27, 2024
1:30 – 3:00 p.m.
Skulls— devils— monsters— graveyards: Just symbols we associate with Halloween?
You’ll find them all in the medieval iconography displayed on the facade of Blessed Trinity Church when you take the October 27 tour of this Buffalo Landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Step inside and follow an All-Saints Day procession of more than 100 angels and saints from the Hebrew Bible and New Testament making their way to heaven in the church’s great dome. Docents will highlight the spectacular interior details of the church and its extensive display of Christian symbolism. Enjoy All-Hallows’ Eve selections on the church’s 1927 Tellers-Kent pipe organ and vocalizations by the Angel of Music.
Completed in 1928 at a cost of over a half million dollars, the church is considered one of the purest examples of 12th Century Lombard-Romanesque architecture in the United States. The exceptional level of artisanship involved in its creation marks Blessed Trinity as a work of art that can never be replicated.
Reservations required. Make yours at Explore Buffalo.
Meet at Blessed Trinity Church, 317 Leroy Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14214.
Check-in at 1:15 p.m. Tour begins at 1:30 p.m.
Ample parking is available behind the church and adjacent to the wheelchair ramp on its east side.
