These gorgeous churches were built so that people could look upon their creation as a form of veneration of the Lord. In such beautiful places, our souls and spirits are lifted from the mundane existence of everyday life to that glorious place we look forward to being after our lives here have ended. Imagine when they were built. They must have been the most awe inspiring structures in the world.

They were, although the gothic French cathedrals are even more spectacular.

They must have been the most awe inspiring structures in the world.Yes, and they still are! That's why it's so distressing to go into some modern Churches, which are totally bereft of beauty, and which can only be described as prayer barns!
