Doorknob of the Confessional, forged iron, 19th cent., Cathedral of the Epiphany, Sioux City, IA.
The confessional is an octagonal chapel in the foyer of the church. I couldn't photograph it, but around the corner from the door is a large candle on a tall floor stand, lit when the sacrament of mercy is offered. With the gentle angles of the octagon it's impossible to put your hand on the doorknob without looking at the bright candle.
