Even Better than Lincoln Memorial

The National Cathedral was Inspiring

This morning we went to the opening convocation of the American Guild of Organists in the National Cathedral. The cathedral is inspiring... a great gothic structure with magnificent bas reliefs depicting the Creation over each entry door.

When I was young this great house of worship was under construction. My Aunt Maria lived on Woodley Road so we sometimes got a glimpse. The builders speeded up construction as master stone workers became harder to find and I doubt the great cathedral would be something today's builders would attempt.

I will have some photos in a later article.
