250 Years
The Glory Altarpiece
The St. Paul's Glory Altarpiece represents God's glory on Mount Sinai and the giving of the Ten Commandments to the Israelites, from Exodus 24. At the top are Hebrew characters for Jehovah, and beneath them the two Tables of the Law. Designed by Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the French architect who created the master plan for the city of Washington, DC, it was installed in 1788. |
