    Worth a walking tour

    Trinity Church is reflected in the beautiful and iconic John Hancock Tower designed by architect Henry Cobb. The juxtaposition of the historic church and shopping area surrounding it in the middle of bustling Boston is remarkable

    Divine Church

    I enjoyed taking some time to kneel, pray and be with God in this stunning church. The volunteers who greeted were very friendly and informative. The church's images and icons are a lovely to reflect in the rustic pews.

    Gorgeous Architecture

    One of the most amazing churches I have seen in the states. The architecture is stunning. It’s across the street from the Boston Public Library and The Old South Church - easy to visit all three in a short time.
