“The Knights of Columbus”
December 17, 2008
The Knights of Columbus Museum was founded in New Haven in 1882. Knights of Columbus is the largest Catholic fraternal organization in the world.
I actually stopped here during my one hour lunch today. I had Donald Adams the front desk service help me around. He showed me around and gave me some history on Knights of Columbus. He did mentioned that I should come again with more time and he can arrange a tour for me. He was great and so helpful!
I fell for this beautiful Cross below. Oh my goodness! So beautiful in person.
Crosses/Crucifixes #41
Alter Crucifix
Jerusalem, mother of pearl
abalone and olivewood
Circa 2000
"The beginning and the end"
The base contains the "navity" and the top is the "crucifixion"

Jinnie, wasn't this a fun museum? I loved all the different nativity scenes. How about those dioramas from Italy? Were you able to get upstairs to see the etchings from Piranesi? Another great way to pass an afternoon!
