Title: Icycles cover statue in church fire.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-32121 ICYCLES COVER STATUE IN CHURCH FIRE BOSTON -- A statue of Christ outside Boston’s Sacred Heart church is covered with icycles [sic] from water sprayed by firemen while fighting a spectacular five-alarm blaze which destroyed the church. The first alarm was sounded by a parish curate minutes before a wedding ceremony was about to begin. The rite was performed in a nearby rectory and the wedded couple left the scene under a shower of fire hoses. Located in the city’s eastern section, the church once served as a haven for Irish immigrants. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CB-BOS-2A-65-NAB)
