History of Nazareth Chapel
With red Numidian marble walls from Africa and solid marble columns from Italy, Nazareth Chapel is a historic, architectural gem.

The best of the best collaborated together on designing Nazareth Hall: Charles Maginnis and Timothy Walsh, leading ecclesiastical architects of the day; Rafael Guastavino Company, one of the greatest ceiling makers; Charles J. Connick Stained Glass Company, the greatest American stained glass makers, and Morell and Nichols, landscape architects.

The extraordinary stained glass windows on either side of the chapel portray 18 scenes from the Bible, depicting Old Testament stories on one side and New Testament events on the other.
