St. Paul Cathedral, St. Paul, Minnesota:

Found out from pastor that prior to 1946 there were no painting on wall up in the vaulted ceilings, in St Mary Star of the Sea. . Frescoes painted after 1946. Looking at page 1947, paintings on walls are there. In one year they added all the apostles and image of our Lady Star,of the Sea. ABSOLUTELY Beautiful.  I thought they were there when church built, in 20's. Not so. Now we have fabulous stained glass and wall images that will inspire for all days forward!!!!!!
