Mary's Episcopal Cathedral

In the lower area between the altar rail and the altar are
three large tile panels in circular borders of grey and white
marbles. The central panel is an ornate eight pointed star. The
fossils in the stone steps add to the richness of the ornamentation.
There is a nice contrast between the random effect of the fossils
and the regularity of the tile patterns.
The next page shows the tiles of the upper area, just in front
of the altar.
