When Shana and I go on a trip together, we collect Catholic churches. This time there was a cathedral in Dallas connected with Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was absolutely gorgeous and had a tapestry that was made by the parishioners that was larger than life and using real gold thread. You can see the tapestry in the third picture. I thought it was sad that they had moved it to the parish hall.
Here you can see that above the altar, instead of a crucifix, there is a life-size reproduction of the Toma that was miraculously imprinted upon by Our Lady of guadalupe. Similar to the mural of Mary Magdalene in the Cathedral of the Madeline in Salt Lake city, I was a bit upset that the crucifix was not the central item in the church. Still, the cathedral was gorgeous and I'm glad we attended Mass here!
