Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The National Sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic basilica and national pilgrimage site in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, honoring Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, patron of the United States. It is the largest Catholic church in the United States, the eighth largest religious building in the world, and the tallest building in Washington. An estimated one million pilgrims come to worship each year. It is located on Michigan Avenue in Washington, D.C., on land donated by the Catholic University of America, near the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center. The church is neo-Byzantine, and construction began in 1920 by Philadelphia contractor John McShain and opened in 1959, when it was unfinished.

You can really spend all day here. So peaceful and spiritual! There's so much to explore and so much art to view. The organ sounds amazing during mass.
After visiting the temple for a while, I really felt that it was great value for money. When I went there, I took the subway red line and then walked a short uphill road, which was not a twist. When I walked into the temple, I was deeply impressed by the grandeur and beauty of this building.
We stopped here on our way to Washington. I think we should walk in, do some prayers, walk a little, and get back on the road. We ended up staying for more than 3 hours. The place is amazing and awesome. Too much to see. There is also a "cellar" church under the main church, which is equally impressive. It is a commendable place to be, whatever your faith.
这里实际上是一个大教堂,由于是玻璃的建筑,晚上灯光下显得特别漂亮,就像一个水晶宫,取名圣殿并不夸张。
一个很大的天主教教堂 墙壁上的玻璃很漂亮 有向导解说 不过英语很不标准
