Holy Trinity, Glendale Springs St. Mary's, West Jefferson Holy Communion Episcopal Parish, located in Ashe County, North Carolina, is a small parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina.

The parish consists of two small historic Carpenter Gothic churches that are both decorated with frescoes by painter Ben Long and his students.

Faulton Hodge became priest in charge and later agreed to let Ben Long, a young artist newly returned to North Carolina from studying in Italy, paint wet plaster frescoes on the interior walls of St.

In 1980, Ben Long and 20 assistants began painting frescoes on the walls of the church as it was being restored.

[3] The popularity of the frescoes has required the parish members to start a ministry to keep the two churches open for visitors under the supervision of parishioners who have been trained as docents.
