Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle በ LuciaB

The structure is Romanesque with Byzantine elements. Designed by architect C. Grant La Farge, it is shaped like a Latin cross and seats about 950 persons. The interior is richly decorated in marble and semiprecious stones, notably a 35-foot mosaic of Matthew created by Edwin Howland Blashfield. Both structural and decorative features underwent extensive restoration starting in 2000 and ending September 21, 2003, the Feast day of St. Matthew. The cathedral drew world attention on November 25, 1963, when a recited (not sung) Pontifical Requiem Low Mass was offered by Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston and a Kennedy family friend, during the state funeral of President John F. Kennedy.
