One of the high spots of our trips to Orlando is Mass at the Basilica of Mary, Queen of the Universe. This incredible Basilica began decades ago with the desire to offer an opportunity for worship to the thousands of visitors the area sees each year. This facility was entirely paid for by donations and carries no debt!
The interior balances beauty & elegance, while avoiding opulence.
Perhaps the most recognized work of art in the world is Michelangelo's Pieta. This bronze replica greets worshipers on the right, much as does the original greet worshipers at St Peter's in Rome.
This wonderful statue of the Blessed Mother and her Divine Son graces the right side of the nave near the altar.
In contrast, this pieta graces the narthex at a prayer niche for Our Lady of Sorrows
This wonderful bronze statue depicts Joseph listening closely to Jesus in the workshop.
Back at the Silver Lake Resorts, a little sun by the pool!
