From the West Door
The Nave Ceiling
Looking up at the crossing, the "Lantern". most of us got to climb to the top and walk on the roof near the top stain glass.
The Organ Facade- the organist sits underneath this-there are many many more pipes!
This leads into the Lady Chapel
From the high altar facing West
This modern sculpture is at the west entrance. Most of us walked right by it the first time, as your eye is drawn into the cathedral. However, after having it pointed out and it's symbolism explained, I had to look everytime! The is called the "way of the cross". It is darker at the bottom and lighter on top because we have darkness and light in our journey here on earth. It is winding, because our path contains twists and turns. If you look carefully, you will see what looks like a blemish on the left side of the cross, it is a figure of person on their journey.Now, if you look, the vertical section of the cross is a 1, the first curves form a 2, then the last curves form a 3- representing the Trinity. There is a labryinth on the floor underneath this, inviting all to walk the path to God.
