Title
St. Gregory's Podium
Description
This is the podium used in St Gregory the Great church services. It was hand carved out of wood in Germany in the early 20th century. It has been at the church since it was first built. The podium features a spiral staircase and multiple saints carved around including the one pictured. It was one of the most detailed works of functional art I saw at the church.
