Sepia Saturday Statues at the Shrine Church

Happy Saturday everyone and as it is Saturday time for a Sepia Saturday post for the challenge hosted by @old-guy-photos.
This is a challenge I enjoy joining I love how Sepia Images have a sort of timeless feel to them, that said I seldom did Sepia till this challenge started, but now I try and make it a regular thing for my Saturday morning post.
For this weeks post I am on a similar theme to last weeks post where I focus on Statues but these ones are on the Shrine Church of St Anthony of Padua on Houston and Sullivan Streets in NYC
The Church is beautiful to see, well from the outside I have never been inside it, but for this post I will share three of the Statues around it

I am not sur eif this statue is on St Anthony of Padua, but incase it is, he was a Portugese Catholic Priest, born inLisbon and Died in Padua Italy, and is the Patron Saint of Lost items.
I know I have seen many statues of him in various churches but I did not know or had forgotten that he was the Patron Saint of lost items till I was preparing this post.

And I guess also this is kind of a follow on from this mornings post and the events n Christchurch so let me finish off with another Maori saying , which I had forgotten till a friend mentioned it to me today

Ko te aroha te whakahoki

Those are some beautiful statues, my friend. I am sure it took some time for someone to make these. I actually visited Padua about 2 years ago while playing in Italy. You should try to get inside the church next time. I am sure it is beautiful inside as well as the outside.

Thank you for sharing, my friend. Have an amazing day. : )

Thanks Mate, I never made it to Padua in my visits to Italy, most of my time where was down in the heel of Italy
The strange thing doe me here is most of the church doors are locked in the early morning when I do my walks, but I would love to visit here again when it is open and see what is like inside ;)

Thanks Kindly I hope your weekend is going well

80 degrees but a bit windy. Took a hike at Malibu Creek Park, where they filmed MASH and Planet of the apes. Still a lot of damage from the fires but a lot of grepfrom the rains and even some California poppies. Expect to see some on Wednesday, if you know what I mean ;-)

I would happily take 80 degrees even with some wind here we are just hitting 40s or 50s, sounds like a place I would love to visit i love both Mash and the Planet of the Apes Movies, must be sad to see the damage from the fires, I am looking forward to Wednesday and yes I know what you mean :)
