More pictures from our Historic Cathedral
Corner Stone laid in the Year of the Jubilee 1901
Constructed
of stone and pressed brick in the Romanesque Style, the Cathedral
occupies without a doubt, a prominent place among the churches of
Detroit.
There
are three Front entrances. In a niche above the beautiful main
entrance stands the large statue of St. Anthony. Upon entering, the
first thing that impressed one is the soft, delicate light admitted
through beautifully colored stain-glass windows that fill the interior
and lends an air of indescribable peace so soothing and inviting to
prayer and meditation.
Above,
the ceiling is arched, the broad wide arch of the a sign of firmness,
strength and determination. The high-vaulted sanctuary receives its
light from four smaller windows of four Evangelists. At the left, a
magnificent glass painting of the angelic Aloysius receiving his First
Holy Communion from his sainted friend, Charles Borromeo.
Under
a charming rosette window in the large transept area a triple group:
St. Boniface the great Apostle of the Germans, St. Anthony, the patron
Saint of the Cathedral, and lastly, St. Vincent de Paul.
Moving
along we see a splendid representation of the Holy Family. Truly
admirable is the scene of our savior among the little children. Next is a
picture of the Resurrection of our Lord. The last window shows blessed
Margaret Mary Alacoque transfigured by divine love in the vision of the
Sacred Heart.
On
the opposite side is the appointment of St. Peter as Prince of the
Apostles. Beside is our savior in the Garden of Olives. Next is a
beautiful window depicting the Guardian Angel. Truly a gem of
Christian Art is the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In
the transept on the left side facing the altar are three windows. In
the center is a masterful reproduction of Murillos’s beautiful painting
of the Immaculate Conception. Then there are St. Elizabeth and St.
Monica, mother of St. Augustine. Above there is a beautiful rosette,
similar to the one on the opposite side of the transept. The last window
is one of St. Rose of Lima.
The
nave and transept windows dated 1902 are from Innsbruck, Austria. A
rich stream of light floods the entire nave through the rose window over
the entrance of the church-the all-seeing eye of God, an imported
window like the others but the product of the Detroit Friedrichs and
Wolfrum. The same firm made the windows in the tower.
Deserving
a notice are the fourteen stations of the cross imported from Germany.
Above the middle entrance door on the interior is a small arched window
taken from the Grade School before it was demolished. It depicts St.
Anthony holding the Christ Child.
The
church is Germanic in character, noted in the brickwork and the
four-gabled arrangement of its towers-called “Lombard arcading” along
with the similar treatment of the roof surfaces.
