St. Paul's Chapel of Trinity Church Wall Street

This beautiful chapel brings back all the memories of 9/11 and I whisper soft blessings on all those who enter here.

I visited this church five years ago and I considered a memorial of the tragedy that changed the world. I went back there last month and I was really very bad: a place of worship where it was spontaneously send a thought to the victims, has been transformed almost in a theater stage. They have eliminated all the memorabilia and they put a small shop. Personally I found it in bad taste.

This beautiful church has played a in role in American history from colonial days to 9/11/01 and the days that followed. St. Paul's is a "must visit" place, even if you're not religious. The stories here are inspiring and extremely interesting as it's the oldest building in Manhattan (it was here before America was America). More than anything, the survival story of the church when towers collapsed is incredible. There are free 9/11 exhibits as well as other historical artifacts. It's a nice place to catch your breath after visiting the 9/11 Memorial. This is by far one of the most historical sites in New York City, or even the US for that matter. It's more than just a church, it's a trip back in time. From pirates to presidents and lots in between, the history of the place will surprise you!

I just learned about St. Paul's Chapel through a book called The Harbinger, a NYTBSeller. If you wish to find out about ancient, contemporary and stunning events surrounding this structure and the prophecy for America, this book will open your eyes!

St. Paul's Chapel is one of the most historic churches in Manhattan and you can still see where George Washington prayed. There's nothing special architecture-wise. It's a plain ordinary building from the inside and outside. Walk along the narrow paths or sit on old benches. You would also be just yards from the Freedom Tower. If you're downtown, a visit is worth dealing with the crowds.It's a significant building because it's the oldest public building in continuous use in NYC and survived many fires and 9/11 being only a few hundred feet from the World Trade Center.
