Thank you so much for your post. I used to play the pipe organ. It is a really challenging instrument, but wow is it beautiful.
My confirmation Saint name was Cecilia (AD 200-230) who, tradition has it, invented the pipe organ. Now I’m wondering if she built something that was related to or inspired by precursors such as the one in the Temple.

The pipe organ (hydraulis) was invented about five centuries before Saint Cecilia. She didn't invent it, but it's not impossible that she played it. See a modern reconstruction here. It's pretty cool.
