EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1856, captures the historic moment of the opening of the New Church at the Roman Catholic University in Dublin, Ireland. The image showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty of the church, with its arched entrances, columns, and intricate details. The requisite ritual ceremonies were performed to dedicate and bless the altar and sanctuary, marking the first celebration of the Mass within its hallowed walls. The church was filled to capacity with a densely-crowded congregation of Roman Catholic clergy from Dublin and its surrounding areas. The high Mass was celebrated with every accessory of splendor, accompanied by the sacred music of renowned composers such as Mendelssohn. The congregation remained for a considerable time, either in prayer or admiring the proportions and arrangements of this magnificent church. This engraving, a testament to the rich history and faith of the Roman Catholic community in Ireland during the 19th century, continues to captivate and inspire."
