Holy Week is here. The Icon challenges viewers to see how good you are at looking up.
Monty Siekerman photographed nine Ada church steeples. These are found in the attachment below this story. See how many you can identify.
There's a challenge in this contest. We've provide a "easy" series of photos that we hope everyone passes. Consider it a warm-up to the Icon Church Steeple Final Exam. In the final we've provided only photos of the very top of the steeples. See how you can master this final test.
And, there's a bonus. Two churches in Ada don't have steeples. See if you can identify those two churches.

The choir tours domestically each year, plus includes international travel and study every three or four years.
