Event Details
Tour Description:
Join us this holiday season for a special tour of the
beautiful church and parish grounds of Most Holy Trinity - St. Mary
in East Williamsburg with Father Timothy and Urban Oyster Tour Guide, Cindy VandenBosch.
On this tour, we'll explore the history of this
cathedral-like church that was influenced by the 13th c. French Gothic
style, venturing up into the towers and down into the crypt, and even
taking a peek into the rathskeller basement of the rectory where clergy
once entertained guests.
In the spirit of the Christmas season, we'll
also reflect on the German and Irish heritage of this congregation,
highlighting its early beginnings in the mid-1800s with stories of the
origins of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and Holly wreaths, and learn
about more recent immigrants who have brought new holiday traditions to
the church, from Noche Buena to the Three Kings Day Parade. Desserts
with coffee and tea will be provided. Please note: stairclimbing will be involved for certain parts of this tour.
Tour length: Approx 1.5 to 2 hours
Schedule: This is a special holiday tour that will only be held on December 20th and January 10th at 2:30PM both days.
Tickets: $20
per person. Space is limited. Advance ticket purchase required. All
profits from this tour will be donated by Urban Oyster to the Trinity Human Service Center,
a non-profit organization that provides case assistance, information
and educational training to the economically disadvantaged families of
Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Special thanks to Sean Eno for the photograph above.
