I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of the Basilica this past week. The guide noted that not one drop of paint was used to create all the beautiful artwork. Everything was completed using mosaics comprised of millions and millions of little pieces of colored glass.
Wow. That’s gorgeous. Just stunning. Amazing colours 👍

They broke ground in 1907 and held the first Mass when the superstructure was complete in 1914, but the mosaics we’re not fully complete until 1988!!!
