Meant to post this sooner, but like they say, better late than never. Due to the positive response we received for our Advent Sunday at the Met post, we decided to share a few additional photos from the Sanfedisti's recent visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's (1000 Fifth Avenue, New York City) Arms and Amor Court, Medieval Sculpture Hall, and Renaissance of Etching and Last Knight exhibits.
