Exterior of a white Spanish colonial style chapel surrounded by tall trees

Interior of a white-walled chapel, from the POV of the aisle looking back toward the entrance. There are metal chandeliers and an arched stained glass window high above the door.

Closer detail shot of a stained glass window depicting a nurse front the early 10th century. The predominant color is a cobalt blue.

Half a painting of Jesus on a battlefield. The painting is positioned near the bottom of the image so there’s a lot of negative space in the upper corner of the photo.
