One of the most striking churches on Concord Street in Peterborough, NH is All Saint’s Church. It has the appearance of something one might see in England, and for good reason since the architect Ralph Adams Cram used The Church of St. Mary in Iffley, England as his inspiration for his design in 1912. Completed in 1914, the church held its first service on August 8, 1920.

I had visited the church three years ago in 2016 but wanted to return to photograph some of the intricate wood carvings.

Wikipedia – Passiontide
In the Roman Catholic Church, Western Rite Orthodoxy, and in Anglo-Catholic churches, all crucifixes and images may be covered in veils (usually violet, the color of vestments in Lent) starting on Passion Sunday.
