I am always amazed at what craftsmen can do with marble, how they can carve it to such perfection.
There are gold gilded altar pieces at every chapel.
The ceilings are masterpieces.
It reminded me of a passage in Exodus which says, 'and He has filled him with the spirit of God..... and all manner of workmanship to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.' Surely one need to be blessed by God in order to be able to do such works of art, with stone, marble, jewels or precious metals.
