| dc.description | The Pentecost; detail, angels supporting lit cabinet (ambry); Cast-bronze patronal shrines by Enrico Manfrini and Mario Rudelli depicts events in the lives of Mary and Jesus. After the building was dedicated in 1971, it took 25 years to complete the project by filling the niches around the interior walls with bronzes by Manfrini and his disciples. The sculptures, all cast in Italy, weigh between 1,700 pounds and two tons and are attached to the back walls of the niches by steel bars to give the impression that they are floating. The shrines illustrate the Incarnation, Visitation, Flight into Egypt, the Wedding Feast at Cana, the Passion and Resurrection, Pentecost, Mary’s Assumption and the birth of the church. Manfrini also did a frame for a shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe and a bronze holder for the paschal candle. Source: Catholic San Francisco; http://www.catholic-sf.org/ (accessed 8/15/2015) | en_US |
