Описание: Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul

Hello, Philadelphia graveyard & history. Today we are at the Cathedral basilica of Saints Peter & Paul. The cornerstone way laid September 6, 1846 & the building was dedicated on November 20,1864. The church was enlarged in October 1957. It is located at 18th St. & Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, Pa. Built in the Italian Renaissance style. The Basilica is the largest Catholic Church in the state of Pennsylvania, with a seating capacity of 2,000. The basilica has hosted 2 Papal masses, 1st by Pope John Paul II in 1979 & by Pope Francis in 2015. The basilica also houses a crypt beneath the main altar that holds the remains of at least 20 priests, bishops & Cardinals. Saint Mother Katharine Drexel was moved to the basilica after St. Elizabeth’s convent in Cornwall Heights, Closed in 2017.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was not able to go down to the crypt level.
