Ralph Rapson - St. Peter's Lutheran Church - Edina, MN - Master Architects - International Style on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
From the Church's web site ("http://www.stpetersedina.org/history.htm" target="_blank">visit link) :

"The nave of the church is octagonal. This is a symbol of regeneration, derived from the fact that eight souls were saved from the Flood."

"The altar [is] at the foot of the cross. In its marble top five Maltese crosses are engraved to symbolize the five wounds of Christ, in his hands, feet and side. It stands on three marble steps, symbolic of the Trinity."

"The circular seating around the altar gives beautiful expression to the fellowship of saints (believers in Christ)... The location of the altar in the center of the congregation accents the doctrine of the royal priesthood of all believers, according to which we hold that all believers have the privilege of direct access to God, through Jesus."

"Finally, the beautiful, impressive roof structure is shaped as a crown – symbol of the Church triumphant."
