St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox

Another thing that I often see when I am walking in the morning, or anytime through my neighborhood are the spires of St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox church. I love the way the spires are lighted.

There are so many churches in Tremont, however, this one really stands out to me. I think it is the spires and the fact that it sits away from the other churches on the corner of a hill. How it looked illuminated in the snow this morning was incredible.

The Church on the Corner

In Tremont, it might not be the best description to say the Church on the corner, or even the Church on the corner of Lincoln Park. My neighborhood is littered with churches. I can see 6 churches from my front porch.

As with the other churches in the neighborhood, all of them has some type of lighting to show of their building. Our Lady of Mercy is no exception.

I think the yellowish tint to this lighting makes the statue of Mary look very etheral. It lends a reverence to this scene on the front door of the church.
