Abbeville, Louisiana: Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic Church

St. Mary Magdalen Church, Abbeville, Louisiana


The interior of Abbeville's Saint Mary Magdalen Church is a visual feast.

Lush jewel tones. Pascal pastels. Gold leaf. Zodiacal-blues. Alabaster-like carvings.

The leaded-glass and stained windows tell some stories I'm not familiar with.

The relative grandeur of the church in this small town bespeaks a lot of money invested in it by the community.
