St. Matthew's Cathedral Mural

The mural over the doors to the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington. St. Matt's is the seat of the Archdiocese of Washington, and is my local parish. It is a beautiful church and was the church that celebrated President Kennedy's funeral mass. John Kennedy Jr.'s salute, captured in a famous photograph by Dan Farrell, occurred on the steps of St. Matt's as the President's caisson passed.
