While traveling through Essex County today, I stopped at the Holy Name of Jesus. The Catholic Church is in East Orange, New Jersey. The beautiful church is located on the corner of Dodd Street and Midland Avenue.

Unfortunately, the church doors were closed. However, the exterior architecture caught my attention with its beauty. I took some photos above the front entranceway to highlight the exquisite artistic design of the church.

Scripture - Luke 2:41-47
The Boy Jesus at the Temple
His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
