Holy Ground
St. Paul's Chapel, dating to the 1700's, in its location across the street from the World Trade Center in New York City.
This little chapel was the place our first president, George Washington, came to pray just before his inaugeration. Over time, it became dwarfed by the rise of many skyscrapers all around, the tallest of which (the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center) were just a block away.
The chapel survived the destruction of the Towers with, amazingly enough, just a few damaged windows. Even the wooden bell tower remains intact.
A new children's book has been written about this amazing historic chapel, this image is the cover of the book and gives the author's name. It is available from amazon. com or ask for it at your local bookseller.
