120916 college tabernacleCHARLOTTE — The St. Joseph College Seminary has a new tabernacle in the small chapel of the seminary’s temporary home in Charlotte.

The tabernacle is gilded in gold leaf using the centuries-old technique of water gilding. Sacred artist Mary Clark of Charlotte spent months preparing the wooden tabernacle for the gilding and then applying more than 1,000 gossamer-thin sheets of gold.
