Saint Michael's Sunday

Saint Michael's Church, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok

This colonial era church is the oldest in Charleston (1761), and has withstood earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and the bombardments of the American Civil War. It stands today as a symbol of Charleston's enduring qualities.


For different views of this church, see this earlier post and this post.
