Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church

The site of this church, the mother church of the African Methodist Episcopal order, is the oldest tract of land continuously owned by blacks in the U.S. Theres a small museum to A.M.E. founder Richard Allen below the church.

Reviewed By Herstory_62 - Philadelphia, United States

Along with nearby Independence Hall & other historic places of worship in the area, such as Christ Church & the Arch Street Meeting, don't miss the opportunity to visit or worship at this monumental church, the mother church of the AME, the first African-American denomination. Founded in 1787, the congregation worships in a building which sits on the nation's oldest parcel of land owned by African-Americans. The stained glass windows (with Masonic symbols) are magnificent & the crypt museum is a treasure trove of artifacts & significant history.

National Shrine of St. John Neumann

Reviewed By margaritamE7998NT

St. John Neumann of Philadelphia, a Redemptorist bishop, was the first male American saint. For a long time, he was the only male American saint, but later he was followed by St. Damien of Hawaii and St. Junipero Serra of California. I visited St. John Neumann's shrines in Baltimore and Philadelphia, and in both places the people were very friendly. I got to pray before his tomb in Philly; and in Baltimore, I got to see his confessional booth at the Church of St. Alphonsus. I also got some relics and a book on his life and holy works. It was a beautiful pilgrimage.

Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka

Reviewed By B5611SXmichaelf

The small group escorted tour was a revelation. The dedicated docents presented a heartfelt and honest explanation of the church, the artist and the murals, readily admitting the gaps in the story of this microcosm of America’s immigrant experience and the real effects of war on people across the globe. The story of the murals, with their social, cultural and religious commentary, is far more than a visual experience, and the efforts of the community to preserve and expand their exposure is testament to the lasting impact of Vanko’s art. A truly unique Pittsburgh attraction.

Priesthood Restoration Site

Reviewed By FestivalFunMN - Kirtland, United States

This is a beautiful site! Just visited and learned there is a damn upstream and that has reduced the water flow. Part of the river is now an empty dry river bed. A spiritual experience awaits you here if you are willing to received it.

Washington Memorial Chapel

This small place of worship is famous for its stained glass window depicting George Washington at prayer.

Reviewed By KommissarKen

The last stop along the driving tour of Valley Forge, the chapel is probably overlooked by some. But it is and interesting place, especially the Justice Bell and 36-panel window.
