Passion of the Pink

My Dad and I enjoy wandering around various towns and snapping photos of relics of yesteryear. This massive pink door with its ornate door handle is the entrance to an old, looming Catholic church in Victoria, Texas, where Mass was once given in Latin. Townspeople still walk the threshold and enter sanctuary for their ritual devotions.

The checkerboard mosaic rug adds a nice touch to the behemoth building, making it feel a bit Alice in Wonderland-ish in my opinion. I can almost hear the wine at the alter calling, “drink me,” and the wafer, “eat me.” I always did think those wafers tasty.
