A few years ago, the Korean Catholic Church built a new church in California: St. Thomas Korean Church.<\/p>\n
GRANDA was commissioned to take care of the interior decoration of the church, adapting each liturgical and decorative element to the Korean aesthetics.<\/p>\n
The altar, ambo, tabernacle, seating, Christ, reliefs, Stations of the Cross and four images came from the workshops of Arte de Granda.<\/p>\n
The four sculptures were to represent the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, Andrew Kim Taegon <\/strong>(the first Catholic priest of Korean origin to be martyred) and St. Peter Channel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Virgin Mary and St. Joseph were to be represented with Korean features, to bring them closer to the parishioners. After an in-depth study of Korean traditions, features and clothing, GRANDA was able to provide both images with the desired features.<\/p>\n Today, these sculptures can be seen at St Thomas Korean Catholic Center in Anaheim (California, United States).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hace algunos a\u00f1os, la iglesia cat\u00f3lica coreana levant\u00f3 un nuevo templo en California: St Thomas Korean Church.
