Work began on Easter Sunday with a bishop’s blessing as bronze doors were sealed. New Jersey artisans Eric and Tommy Walther are delicately removing century-old stained-glass windows—Thomas Gaytee’s crowning masterpiece—packed with the care of a Fabergé egg. Femenella and Associates will then restore them to pristine condition, preserving a living narrative of Mary’s life for future generations. This nationwide effort highlights how specialized craftsmanship brings history back to life. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
