This week's photo spot is Millvale's St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church.
St. Nicholas is covered top to bottom with Maxo Vanka's unique murals. There are eleven murals that were painted in the spring of 1937 which depict the old and new world along with Maxo Vanka's view of the strong mother. In 1941 Maxo Vanka returned to work on 11 more murals.
Maxo Vanka has set up a beautiful canvas for photographers to work with and its our responsibility to thank him with each photograph. That's why I picked St. Nicholas as the photo spot of the week. It holds certain treasures that not many people know about and it is filled with an outrageous presence that it takes a minute to compose yourself when in it.
