Visitors to St. Michael's often comment on the beautiful artwork that can be found around the building, and especially in the sanctuary. Below are pictures of a few peices.


The Annunciation This fresco was painted by Megan Marlatt of the Mason Gross School of the Arts in 1987, and donated by Aaron and Bobbie Fine. The artist was attracted to St. Michael's during the period in which the Chapel served as a public sanctuary for refugees from Latin America. The angel speaks the word "Blessed", as Mary leans across a table, which extends out of the fresco into an actual stone altar. (Originally, the artist intended the angel to say "Guess what?"...)	Salvadoran Crucifix The cross that hangs behind the altar was created by Luis and Roberto Calderon, who were two of many people who took refuge in St. Michael's during the chapel's involvement with the Sanctuary Movement. The cross was donated by the artists in the Christmas season, 1985.	Michael Battles the Dragon [entrance sculpture] Please provide any information you have about this sculpture!
