During this past weekend while visiting New York I discovered an inspiring, beautiful and tradition cathedral on the Upper West Side. While walking in Harlem I notice in the far distance a large domed building. Following the sight I soon found this gem. The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine http://www.stjohndivine.org sits majestically on the corner of Amsterdam and Cathedral Parkway.
Walking up to the church I was in awe by the staircase, statues,and enormous doors. When entering the medieval style cathedral the sounds of a choir echoed through the sanctuary. Colored light from the amazing stained glass windows cascaded down the walls and floors. I was inspired by this majestic marble and stone building. As I was exiting the church the pipe organ bellowed an amazing hymn. The sound was so overwhelming it literally vibrated within me. Wow what an invigorating experience! Please enjoy the following photos and think how they may inspire your own creativity or home decor.
Good Day!
