Alabama, 1999
Our Lady of the Angels Monastery
A SACRED PLACE FULL OF HISTORY
In the gentle hills of Hanceville, Alabama is the Monastery of Our Lady of the Angels, a sacred place steeped in history, including that of the devout Christian nun Mother Angelica who ordered the building of this lovely abbey.
To further enhance the beauty and solemnity of this place, we find one of our most precious marbles: Cremo Delicato. Used in the construction of the columns, part of the floors and the high altar, this refined ivory-colored marble is rich in golden veins, which give the interiors a soft and suggestive brightness.
In the church there is a chapel, entirely made in Cremo Delicato, which constitutes a private part of the church and is located in the basement.
