Walking into an old church can be a breathtaking, overwhelming experience. It’s hard to know where to rest your eyes at once: The altars are impressively ornate, the ceilings tower, and the religious iconography can be moving. The only thing that’s more jaw-dropping than seeing a church for the first time is seeing it all at once. These vertical panoramic shots of New York churches give you a full view of these amazing spaces, from top to bottom. The Church of Saint Francis Xavier will take your breath away.
