Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

Reviewed By MargaretMary_Z - Washington DC, United States

You will want to spend your time in place, you might even feel compelled to sit and wonder, pondering the great and powerful love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Oh, yeah, and you'll see every icon of every title you've ever heard of the Holy Blessed Mother of God. Mass at the Crypt church is extraordinary, Mass at the Upper Church will expand your Spirit, reconciliation will reunite you to God and you might even be blessed enough to get some spiritual direction! You will see nuns, monks, students, teachers and seekers,. You will feel the breath of God, and you will hear Angels sing!

Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church

Reviewed By jonahNJ - Pennington, United States

During our most recent visit to Washington, D.C., my wife and I visited Metropolitan A.M.E. on a Saturday morning. My wife's cousin is a long time member and gave us a great tour of the church. The stained glass window featuring various A.M.E. Bishops is gorgeous and provides a special atmosphere to the main sanctuary. It was also touching to see the name plates attached to pews with the names of special members engraved on them. Two names that were of significance to me were Gwen Ifill and Frederick Douglass. It was also a special time to visit the church since the Christmas decorations were up and a festive spirit was in the air. We were greeted very warmly by members as my wife's cousin took us around the church. This is a church with a rich history that remains a vibrant center of the community it has served for so long.

St. Ann Catholic Church

St. Ann's Church is a non-profit parish that serves more than 600 Catholic families in Northwest Washington, D.C. We serve the local community through fundraising projects and service activities, provide education to youth in grades K-12, and serve the spiritual needs of our members through church services and opportunities that enable members to be the Body of Christ. Through annual and biannual campaigns, we support organizations like Friendship Place, which aims to end homelessness, and partner with groups like the Tenleytown Historical Society to promote events for the community. The church is located one block south of the Tenleytown/American University red line metro stop. St. Ann is the oldest Catholic parish in the part of Washington, DC which lies west of Rock Creek Park and north of Georgetown. The present-day church is the third on the site, and is a larger version of a church designed by the same architect who designed the cathedral for the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

Washington National Cathedral

This Gothic-style cathedral is the sixth largest in the world and is put to all sorts of national purposes, such as President Wilsons funeral and a prayer vigil for American hostages during the Iranian crisis.

Reviewed By ufallie - Fort Worth, United States

Strolling the grounds and seeing the Gothic architecture is wonderful. If you can, go during visiting hours, pay the admission and see the beautiful windows, altars and inscriptions. The 7th floor observation deck is a great addition to your time there.
