圣保罗教堂

千万不要错过这里!我们来到这里是在911事件过去一年后。我们在教堂里参观了一些历史遗迹,同时观看了一个纪录片,讲述这里的创始人的个人自传。

与世贸只有一街之隔的圣保罗教堂，当时成为救灾人员医疗、休息及灾民的庇护所。现在里面摆放了当年灾变及救灾的图片，并设有祭坛，让人们凭吊。教堂后方的墓园这口钟是希望之钟“Bell of Hope”。是由英国伦敦市为了纪念911事件送给圣保罗教堂的，希望和平的钟声永远回荡在天空。

我们在从世贸中心去市政厅的路上偶然发现了圣保罗礼拜堂。这是一个墓园,有自18世纪以来的坟墓,这里还有纪念9·11恐怖袭击的展品。圣保罗礼拜堂曾经是恐怖袭击发生后的指挥中心。你还可以在这看到华盛顿总统的教堂长椅。从这匆匆走过感觉还不错,但我并不觉得这里会令人很兴奋。

室内蓝色和粉红色的装饰是很典型的殖民地风格。这是一个很重要的历史建筑,建在9.11之前,而且还在持续的建设当中。散步的一个最重要的目的地是金融中心。

圣保罗礼拜堂位于金融区的核心位置。是一座大革命前的教堂,在9.11事件中幸免于难(是爆心投影点的一个街区)。内部经过维修保养,它有个很有趣的历史--怀念乔治华盛顿的地方。目前在教堂中有很多的陈列品,用来纪念在9.11事件中曾将这作为基地的那些救援者,人们来到这反思和怀念。在它的背后有一个墓地,一个适于漫步的好地方--这有很多从1700年来的墓碑。令我惊讶的是我居然在这看到了我一个姓特纳的亲戚葬于此!

这个地方非常漂亮!如果你来这个地区,很值的去参观一下。我们是星期六下去的,它是对公众开放的。一个平静而又让人精神愉悦的地方,一栋很漂亮的建筑物。

A wonderfully gothic building situated amongst the hussle & bussle of NY.Beautifully ornate architecture, and in complete contrast to the high rise buildings

Im not the best catholic, but even if not I respect my religion and the others too, and so it is for all the visitors in this chapel. A immense emotion overcomes thinking abaut how important this chapel is and how beautiful to! Also for just taking a picture go down from the tourist bus and take it, its worth it! :)

This small church, once attended by President Washington was the place where 911 volunteers gathered to aid and help those in need and those who rescued during the tragic events. It is a very emotionally charged place but very soothing also.

Lovely old church . Can have a coffee on entering / leaving. Architecture is beautiful. Quite busy with fellow tourists but still remains peaceful & tranquil

The interior of the church is not gothic style, obviously but nonetheless its a place to see.Many former presidents use to come here and I believe prominent people in the US history are burried around the churchAlso, this church was damaged a little during the unfortunate 9/11 attacks but a tree that I believe still stands was not destroyed. It was a sycamore tree.I would visit during summer months and is one of the great places to visit in NYC.

This was a beautiful visit - my friend was shopping in Century 21 and as I am not really a shopper was more than happy to have the opportunity to explore this little gem. Very evocative and a fitting tribute to all those who gave their time to help those trying to clear the disaster area left after the World Trade Centre was decimated.

Intimacy of the chapel, with a very special ambiance. Lovely friendly staff, who were attentive but not intrusive.Wonderful displays of work/photos/memorabilia which sensitively told of the events surrounding 9/11 and since.A must to see when visiting new York

this is a must visit if you are in New York, I have been there three times and it never ceases to give me goose pimples. An inspirational place and amazing to read some of the letters from the children also the little altar with momentoes and photos of those who lost their lives. A humbling experience

If you are visiting the September 11 memorial this place is certainly worth a visit. This hidden little gem tells of the story in a different view point and looks to find the hope in the events of the day. This place is so beautiful and peaceful i could have spent hours in here. Thank you to the staff on site for helping to create a relaxed atmosphere and allowing Me to just sit, bringing over a tissue but not interfering
