Church of the Covenant

Church of the Covenant Overview

In an area of Boston filled with cultural monuments and architectural splendor, Church of the Covenant is an architectural and artistic landmark. This Gothic Revival church was erected in 1865-67 by Central Congregational Church, one of the first churches to relocate in the newly filled-in land of Boston's Back Bay. Located just a block from the Boston Public Garden, this stunning church is a beautiful place to exchange vows. The beautiful Tiffany-designed sanctuary was transformed by a gigantic electrified lantern, baptismal font, 42 stained glass windows, mosaics, decorative arches and a paint scheme that united all the elements. The Tiffany windows at Church of the Covenant are integral elements of the stunning church interior. There are 42 Tiffany windows -- 22 ornamental windows in the clerestory and 20 figure windows throughout the sanctuary. They all include "opalescent" glass with its subtle tones and variations that eliminate the need for much painting and allow painterly effects. Picture walking down a long aisle to say “I do” before all the people you love most. A truly unforgettable union takes place at Boston’s Church of the Covenant.
