St. Mary's Episcopal Church (Church of the Frescoes)
THIS morning in West Jefferson, NC.

One of West Jefferson’s most visited attractions (FREE to enter and view). The fresco paintings in this small beautiful church were created in 1974 by North Carolina native Ben Long. The incredible frescoes include “Mary, Great with Child,” "John the Baptist," and “The Mystery of Faith”.

This is by far the best photo that I have ever taken of the exterior of St. Mary's. A little bit of fresh snow and some early morning sunshine made it magical.

PS Let me know below if you would like to see photos of the interior. I have some I can share that I took last year.

We might be biased, but we think Ashe County Christmas Wreaths & Greenery are the VERY BEST! Don't forget to choose one or two when picking out your Ashe County Tree! 😍🎄

When you visit an Ashe County Choose & Cut, don't forget to get a fresh wreath and other greenery! 😍👍
