From the Abbey's webste:

"Sometimes called "the church that orange juice built," the Abbey Church is aptly titled. The sandstone trim, which faces the outer part of the edifice, and used for much of the interior and the side altars, was supplied, cut and polished by Saint Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana. Its deep yellow colors are symbolic of the arrangement between the abbots of the two monasteries - the stone was actually paid for by Saint Leo Abbey orange juice! Saint Meinrad Archabbey supplied many of the carved oak furnishings of the new interior under the same agreement. In return, Saint Leo Abbey kept the Indiana monastery supplied with oranges and grapefruit for many years."
