During a recent trip to California, I was standing on a street corner looking up at a church.  As usual, I’d come upon it because I’d gotten lost. I wanted to enter to see what kind of stained glass might be inside but I could tell that mass was about to start and I did not want to disturb the service with the shutter of my camera.  I was about to walk away when a voice behind me said, “Well, why don’t you come inside?” She was an older woman with a bright smile.  “It doesn’t matter if you’re not Catholic. Just sit in the back so you can take a peek.” All but taking my hand, she led me inside.  I did not take pictures that day but I did return and this is a little of what I saw.
