"Mary Kay Catherdral"


Whoa! Just reselling the glass in this place would probably take our country out of its recession! Below is a description from Dru, the person who submitted the pics. Thanks Dru!

This is the "Mary Kay Cathedral," in Charlotte NC.

Okay, it's really Calvary Church, but it's HUGE and very pink. It used to be a lot pinker but pink stucco fades after a while, so it is sort of rose colored now.

When you fly in over the city you can see this pink thing down below - even the roof is pink. Hence the nickname, obviously.

When they built it they ran out of money, so instead of facing it in pink granite they used pink stucco.

To give you some idea of the size of the building, the little bushes in the front of the church are actually trees higher than an eighteen-wheeler. When they load stuff in and out for events the big trucks look like matchbox cars.

The sanctuary seats something like ten thousand, and the parking lots go on for acres.
