On the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Trinity Church on Manhattan’s Wall Street transformed its historic nave into a moving tribute, covering the sanctuary with thousands of delicate paper cranes. The origami installation, created by local artists and volunteers, symbolizes peace, hope and the resilience of a city still healing from the tragedy. Visitors are invited to walk among the white birds, each one representing a life lost or a prayer for unity, while a quiet soundtrack underscores the reflective atmosphere. The project, highlighted by CBS News, underscores how art and community can honor memory while looking forward to a more compassionate future.
