This past Sunday we were invited to attend church at St. Stephen's Episcopal
Church in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. This is a magnificent building filled with architectural wonder.This church was established in 1817 and has a long legacy in the community.
Taken from their website:
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Pro-Cathedral was built in 1897 and consecrated in 1899. It is the fifth Church edifice built in the same location and was designed by Philadelphia architect Charles Marquedant Burns, Jr. (1838-1922). St. Stephen’s, which was chartered in 1817, has a rich history of worship in the Anglican tradition.
The architectural detail was superb. The stained glass windows are rich in color and tell the stories of the ministry of Jesus. The angels located high on the ceiling trusses seemed to be floating overhead. This is a historic and beautiful building. I had never been to downtown Wilkes-Barre before. There is so much rich history located here in Northeast Pennsylvania. I thank my client for inviting us to see this wonderful edifice, enjoy the service, and meet so many wonderful people.
