CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY


 
'For over a hundred years, a spiritual home and community center welcoming all--located in the Yorkville neighborhood on East 88th Street between First and Second Avenues on New York's Upper East Side and near the 86th Street stop of the new Q Subway Line. An Episcopal Church in the Anglican Tradition.'
*
'A diverse community--black, white, Asian, Latino and mixed, straight, gay and undecided, younger as well as older, professional, retired, students, professors, opera buffs, football fans, writers, artists, 'math-letes', couch potatoes, fans of Shakespeare and Saturday Night Live, from-the-cradle Episcopalians, converts and spiritual searchers.'

In the lovely garden with welcoming benches
St. Francis keeps watch over 'Norman'...
...a beloved rabbit remembered.

A man was napping on the bench lower left...

...guarded by this Gargoyle

Fragrant old roses scented the air and
made a fine frame for my friend Michael.

Memorial Day

 Though the church was closed, I plan to visit again one day. As you will see at the link below the interior is gorgeous. There's and active arts community as well: Triangle Theater is celebrating its 47th year of offering staged readings and full productions of classic and contemporary plays and music performances. It's a respected member of the New York City theatrical community, providing opportunities for actors to practice their craft, for writers to try out their plays and one of the very few theaters on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.' The Parish also hosts Tuesday senior lunch, Saturday suppers and a shelter.
