Cathedrals of the World, Part 4.

Okay. Today for the fourth segment of the Cathedrals of the World, I will do Reims Cathedral in France. In this cathedral, kings and queen of France were coronated in it.

First, I will do the windows. Before I start, you know, the windows in this cathedral are very nice, but unfortunately some have been replaced with -- with modern art.This is one of the windows with modern art. Ugh, how I long for the days when there was none.

Now, one of the beautiful windows in the Cathedral. Just look at the stammering colours, and the beautiful images.

And, another one of the beautiful windows!

Before I move onto the interior, although I am oh-so critical of modern art, let us not forget that this is a sacred place. But, let us also not forget that the House of God must ever so beautiful!

This is sort-of in the middle of the cathedral. With some of its beautiful "jar" and normal statues.

The view from the back.

Now, the exterior.

This is the beautiful outside, during the sunset!

Cathedrals of the World, Part 3.

This is the third segment of the Cathedrals of the World! I will be doing Shrewsbury Cathedral, in England. First off, the Windows.

This is the great West Window. Absolutely stunning!

One of the images, off a big window.

A window with the Crests of the Bishops of the Diocese of Shrewsbury.Another great window.

Now, I will do the inside.

This is the Nativity shrine.

This is a view of the Sanctuary, from the back.

This is the Baptismal font.

and

The Crucifix, with two statues just float in the air!

Now I will do the outside.

And thats all I can fit, because my computer is being crooked today. There are big spaces in between the text blocks, etc.

Cathedrals of the World, Part 2.

Welcome to the Second segment of the "Cathedrals of the World" part 2! I will be doing Chartres Cathedral, in France.

First off, I focus on the Windows (of Course. You can expect less criticism this time!)

This one is very beautiful! It is much better.

Chartres has one of the most beautiful windows! Especially among a dark background.

Very beautiful.,



Next, I will be going onto the inside of the Cathedral.There is a full view of the inside. Beautiful!

Now, the Altar.Beautiful! There is 3 steps to te altar, as is custum. An Altar Rail (which every church is supposed to have)!

Last, but not least, the outside of the beautiful Cathedral.

The Outside of the Cathedral! Very big, and Beautiful.

This cathedral is very, very old. It survived many fires ... 2, and was destroyed in one. Well, all but the treasury and facade! The one you see today, was finished in 1220.

Cathedrals of the World, Part 1

More than likely, you have heard about the Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona. This is a very beautiful church. It only has one fault, and that is it's ugly windows. Not the shape of the windows, or the position, it's just whats on them is the problem. On the windows, there are no pictures, it's just a collade of random shapes and colours and lines -- all gone amess! I have made it clear .... I do Not like Modern Art at ALL.

Okay, look at this one. What is the significance of it?

This one too. It's just random blobs and squares and shapes that you never learned about in school, with different shades of Green, Blue, Brown, Black and Red.



Sorry for the big size of this one. I must point out, that these windows have stuff written in the little circles. I can't make out what they say... but If you can, just post them in the comments.

Now, on this one it is just the same of one of the above, I think. There is no significance.

Now I will focus on the Building itself.

It's majestic spires point up toward the sky. It is very beautiful from the outside, isn't it? You can see that this is very, very old! Yes, it was started in around 1882, and is not expected to be finished until 2026!

This is the inside, with on of its good windows. They are just clear glass. Much better than the modern art.

That is it. I found these pictures on Google, so I apologize if I did use your pictures! This is the new segment I am doing, called "Cathedrals of the world." Next, I am going to do Chartres Cathedral, in France.
