About this postcard

The view looks down the center aisle of a church toward an ornate high altar, with a crucifix and statues arranged above it. The words "Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus" appear across the altar, echoing the thrice-holy acclamation of traditional Christian liturgy. Rows of wooden pews line the aisle, and no people are visible.
