Holy Family Shrine in Gretna Nebraska
Holy Family Shrine, Gretna Nebraska
The Holy Family Shrine can be seen as people travel on I-80 between Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska, although many do not know what they are seeing. It sits high on a hill and for those who take the time to venture off the beaten path.
It is very peaceful to walk through the gardens and reflect in the chapel. It is rumored that the Thorncrown Chapel in the Ozarks was the inspiration, but this I do not know for sure.
Wow! What a beautiful and spiritual space. And really nice pics of it too!
Thanks, it was a perfect day and wonderful puffy clouds.
Wonderful images. I particularly love the second shot. The composition is excellent and the shadows made by the pews create such interesting lines they compliment the lines of the building itself.
Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks, I really liked processing the images, was kinda like visiting for a 2nd time
It was kind of like visiting it for the first time and I am in California! Awesome picture taking!
I will tuck this little nugget away in case my family ever takes a vacation in Nebraska. (We choose the states we visit by pulling them out of a hat, so you never know!)
There is actually a lot to see in Nebraska, especially if you like zoo’s, the Omaha Henry Doorly is amazing. If you come this way let me know and I’ll show you around.
I have been to the Thorncrown Chapel in the Ozarks, it certainly resembles it, only difference being the the Thorncrown is set in thick forest. It’s beautiful!
