All Saints' Way

While I was in Boston, I stumbled upon this incredible little folk-shrine in an alley. It’s built and maintained by Peter Baldassari, who occasionally offers tours if he’s around and swaps out the seasonal decorations. You can see a lot of it from the street, but if it’s open there’s a special shrine to a featured saint. I’m just glad I got to see it with its light-up skulls for Halloween. If you’re in Boston, you can find the alley on Battery St. just off Hannover.
