St. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church

With my recent find of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, I started out on an adventure to uncover other religious treasures located in Salt Lake City. Just 3 blocks South East of the epicenter of downtown is a small hidden masterpiece. Walking through the doors of the chapel you come across a painted blue sky surround with beautiful icons reminiscent of the byzantine era.

Mesmerized by the interior of the Cathedral of the Madeleine,  I went back for a second trip to photograph the beautiful details laid in stone. Above the main door of the Cathedral lays a intricate facade. It amazes me that there is such talent that can carve this massive art by hand.

Located in downtown Salt Lake is a stone Cathedral with massive gargoyles. When one walks through the doors they stumble across an overlooked treasure in the community. The interior is exquisitely painted with rich colors and massive murals.
