Century-old wall painting found in New York church
At St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village parishioners restored much of the 140 year old structure and uncovered what experts call possibly America's oldest wall painting a fresco of the Transfiguration unearthed after years of hidden paint. The fresco, about 14 by 11 feet, likely depicts Jesus with Moses and Elijah and remains unsigned.
