Sender: Ragnarok7
St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 142, Church Street, Charleston, SC
Text on card: Established in 1680 making it the oldest congregation in South Carolina and the oldest Anglican congregation south of Virginia, St Philip's original structure was located at the corner of Meeting and Broad Streets. Relocated here in the early 1700s, the current church designed by architect Joseph Hyde was constructed between 1835 and 1838 after being completely burned. Bells installed in the steeple in 1976 replaced the original chime of eleven bells which were contributed to the Confederacy in 1851.
Ragnarok7 wrote that there are many churches, synagogues and mosques in her city that it is nicknamed "The Holy City"! That nickname was also mentioned in Wikipedia.
Part of the Christmas stamp was torn in the card's journey.
