Another good church interior to Toledo's credit. Please excuse the quality of the pictures. They were taken quickly after a weekday Mass, without tripod and with poor lighting. It was a cloudy day and not much light was coming through the windows.
The main altar, with some of the finest vaults in Toledo above it. At the base are figures of the twelve Apostles.
Our Lady's altar. To the left is one of Machen's paintings of the Stations of the Cross, probably the chief treasure of St. Francis de Sales. I'll post on them separately.
The St. Joseph altar. The statue is a real gem, perhaps the best in a church well-stocked with them.
The windows are mostly frosted glass, with stained glass borders and accents.
The ceiling vaults. Highly complex and very Victorian. I just have one complaint. The color used in painting the ribs and the columns is really awful. It detracts from the beauty of a good interior.

About the color of the ribs, perhaps the thought was meant to resemble the wood that they are made of.
It does however make for a "busy" looking ceiling.
I did forget about the frosted glass panels though...
I'm reminded of Gone With The Wind. I ain't never seen wood that color in all my born days.
