I am not native english speaker, but Mr. Suchet explain so nice that I understood near everything. I would like to visit all those places bue I cann't now I am old, thank you so much for the opportunity to see the faith and the love to God of the britain people around the siecles.
My mother, an Englishwoman through and through, married my father, an American soldier after WWII. When I was born, my mother insisted I be christened in England as a good Angelican. So, traveling from Wyoming to England, I was christened in my mother's village church. I suppose I could say that that journey was a pilgrimage of sorts.
Greetings 😊, l just wanted to add my appreciation of those who compiled this series❤; and had the forethought to have Sir David Suchet as the narrator! Their constructions,decorativity in stone/glass/marquetry/and other media were quite a feat and feast for the senses! Plus one can take one's time to view all whilst listening to the music and verses of one's youth!😊❤ Best Regards, J.I.M.K Mrs. (Not Damien, his Mother.) Brisbane, Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 😀 🪃
I want to thank whoever posted this and also whoever produced this because it is one of the few positive depictions of Christianity that I've seen in ages and I'm so grateful. Christins are often mocked and criticised by rhe media in the west or more often ignred which is ironc because there are well overr the world well over 2,000,000,000 adherents.but enoihj of that, i digress, thank you for the great program and God Bless
Posted and produced by our friends in izraHell. Look into for yourself. I personally find this 3 part series wonderful, and put it behind me about who did this documentary.
Being Anglican myself and brought up by a staunch Anglican father born in Queen Victoria's age, a great deal of this English history was familiar, even here in Australia, but the association with the particular cathedrals was fascinating. Thank you. And Thank you Mr Suchet as well.
@catherinejones9396 When the Anglican Church decided to go for ordaining women to be priests, I left the Anglican Church forever. They had a screenshot on this episode of a woman in a priest's collar and she looked ridiculous. All the beauty that once was in the old Church is long gone. They've turned all the altars around, dumped the old Prayer Book for modern language and they have "alter girls"
@@garywilliams7454 I guess you are correct re the terminology at least. They should be referred to as priestesses, and Garry, in accordance with the Christian Bible, God created both male and female to serve him and once both fell from his grace, luckily he at least left them intelligence and the will to choose their own ways to live, act and be in this very sad old world. Goodbye Garry.
@@catherinejones9396 For centuries Church of England priests have been exclusively male. The 1970s saw the end of traditional Anglicanism. As to "God" creating male and female to "serve" him, well, to me, this is way, way off the mark. Why would god require anybody at ALL to "serve" him? As to the Adam and Eve story and the supposed "fall of man" there is absolutely no evidence that Adam and Eve ever existed. None whatsoever.
Thanks for this marvellous program and David's wonderful English voice I visited England in the 70 was enchanted with the history and ancient buildings
While God can be worshipped anywhere and at anytime, there’s something so matchless and incomparable about these glorious cathedrals as places of worship. As a professional musician I’ve had the privilege to play for worship services in cathedrals in the US. The visuals (the architecture, art, etc) and the acoustics which carry the sound everywhere in these buildings have to be experienced to be understood. They are integral to helping people experience and understand the Divine in ways that other buildings of worship cannot. IMHO the only thing that is on par with worshipping or participating in a program held in a cathedral can only be matched by being out in nature.
In Poland pilgrimige tradition still is strong ( individual or group, on foot or by bus, local or international to Santiago de Compostella, Rome, Jerusalem etc). Walking clear your mind. Even when you are not a religiouse person.
A pilgrimage inspired by the power and dedication of the people of faith ,by their spirit and beauty ,and you have done it perfectly ! Thank you so much for this splendid presentation !❤🙏
We’ve taken so many of these pilgrimages, and will probably spend the rest of our lives walking portions of them. We’re completely taken in, and have, I’ll venture to say, experienced a handful of miracles, most likely more that we were blissfully unaware of. Often it seems an academic approach to history and culture can be like plucking the wings off a butterfly, but these pilgrimages restore flight to wonder!
Lovely effort to exhibit what is left of the cathedral age in England. It was Henry VIII who instructed the destruction of Thomas a Becket's tomb, both at Canterbury, and at the Bridge in London, so one can hardly castigate the 'reformation' for its destruction of thousands of artifacts, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures and abbeys when the king himself led this wholesale ruination, Henry's own "bonfire of the vanities" as it were. The Lindisfarne Gospels escaped that fury by an inch. Imagine how many others did not.
When there are prayer intentions rattling around in my mind, I've often found that pilgrimage is the best thing to do. Some physical and financial effort, bodily taking them to a holy place, and asking the saints who are still at work there to take over, has brought a lot of peace. And you always returns from pilgrimage a bit different - it changes you 😊
Wonder after Wonder, this magnificent pilgrimage towards these beautiful England's cathedrals is a must for architecture, history and art lovers, besides their beliefs, me specially loved Wells so you better choose your favorite guided by the voice of the extraordinaire actor David Suchet. Enjoy it and God bless you all!❤
I loved everything about this wonderful video!! From David Sushay, to the historical information, to the amazing views of these God honoring buildings....and the music is exquisite!!!! Thank you!!!!
I made a pilgrimage many years ago, to the Spanish missions in San Antonio, Texas, beginning with Mission San Antonio de Valero, also known as The Alamo. I enjoyed it much; there is peacefulness in them.
I like the idea of pilgrimage and hope to start embarking someday. To the Cathedral of my diocese, to Walsingham, to Cathedral of Westminster, to Rome and to the Holy Land.
A rich historical, and spiritual journey. Stunning photography and a real sense of the different atmospheres of each Cathedral. The host is an extra bonus. Well done on all levels.
Beautiful ❤! Thank you for sharing this incredible video!!!!! It always amazes me at the detail of work inside and outside of the cathedrals! How they built these fantastic places in those times! Brilliant 🎉❤!
Chanced upon this video. For me seeing the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela was my Wow and humbling moment. We have visited some of these too,hope to visit the rest. Thank you Poirot oops Mr Suchet
Was it not on 5 May during the reign of Henry VIII (I think 1534) that England made its final break from Rome? Great thanks for this video and for the evangelism of David Suchet!
I am loving this series, and there are more cathedrals I now hope to visit. However, what bright spark altered Bunyan's original words to the pilgrim song? It's relent. Never giving up. Not the same as repent. He knew the difference, if anyone did!
Reverend Canon Matthew Rushton was PRECENTOR at Canterbury Cathedral before his new role at Rochester. Salisbury Cathedral's new Dean Nick Papadopulos was also Canon Treasurer at Canterbury at the same time. The BBC made a documentary series during their time in Canterbury.
I always find it interesting how reluctant the English are to acknowledge many of their famous cathedrals as having been built as Roman Catholic cathedrals, which were seized by Henry VIII and and given to his new church. If a cathedral was built prior to 1530, it was originally Roman Catholic.
Are we reluctant? The circumstances surrounding the break with Rome are taught in schools and generally well known. However it was almost 500 years ago and the majority of cathedrals have been Anglican for longer than they were Roman Catholic. To be honest I don't think most people think about it - it is just the way that it is.
Also there is a huge continuity of worshippers and parishioners - replacing bishops or monks didn’t mean most Christians were rendered ‘homeless’. In fact the survival and use of many Cathedrals and parish churches is the result of their loyalty to their communities and ancestors. Hence to many our Cathedrals are simply English rather than ‘Roman’
How many English people have you asked or does this represent a personal concern? Its my experience that most people don't care and those that do, just accept the history without getting het up about it.
@@JohnMatthews-tv7tf oh really? What you think you know is nothing but propaganda of the side that thought it won. But it matters not. Anglicanism is turning to dust.
A wonderful video - but there is one error, David Suchet wrongly states that the Golden Window of Wells cathedral is placed in the Lady chapel, when in truth, it is located in the choir above the high altar - and what a magnificent window it is, too.
Canterbury the Very Start? Give me a break. One of the first things Augustine had to do was to meet with the bishops. Pagans had bishops? They were Celtic Christians, who originated in Ireland.
David Suchet is not only the consummate embodiment of Hercule Poirot, but a wonderful actor and speaker!
Absolutly

Yes. These walks online are a life saver for us older folk. Walking online with you❤
Mr.Suchet has also spoken the Gospels from Westminster Abbey and documentaries walking Paul's pathways. Very inspiring. God Bless you 🙏
@@maggers1278 Thank you so much.
@hildasalazarcatedraparalavida Your very welcome 🙏
Any story narrated by this magnificent specimen of man is an absolute joy to listen to. What a remarkable man David Suchet is.

Thank you for this wonderful journey with a dear companion, Mr. Suchet. Our heartbroken world needs this, now more than ever. Grateful in Canada.
I too am from Canada and yean for worship such as we see here. God bless.
@@norinefitzgerald5259 God Bless you too, Norine. Have a wonderful day.

Watched all three parts back to back and enjoyed every minute, now I will rest my little grey cells.

Ah, the wonderful David Suchet. What a lovely presentation. I look forward to Episode 2.
David Suchet is a treasure of a man .
Mr Suchet has the perfect voice to narrate.
Sir David; not Mr. Suchet.
I agree! Sir David Suchet is a national treasure ❤. A world treasure also.
His reading of the whole Bible is beyond magnificent. I listen to it every day.
Amazing and beautiful cathedrals! Thank you David Suchet. Your narration makes this documentary so interesting and enjoyable.

His Bible audiobooks are great as well. One of my UA-cam favorites.
I'm not a religious person but I recognise the great beauty and awe inspired by these glorious buildings.
A truly delightful series.
Whenever I see that view of Durham above the river my breath catches in my throat. 🤯
Thank you. I loved this. A wonderful journey from the comfort of my home. ❤
A few years back I walked the pilgrims way with some friends from Salisbury to Winchester to Canterbury ..
🇬🇧 I'm so pleased that you pronounce it Can-ter-bury. So many people say Canterbri.
A pilgrimage inspired by the power and dedication of the people of faith ,by their spirit and beauty ,and you have done it perfectly !
Thank you so much for this splendid presentation !❤🙏

The english of Mr. Suchet is an annointment for the ear.
David Suchet is a wonderful actor, orator and human being. Loved this. Thank you so much. Subscribed xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
I so enjoyed this journey I will never be able to see these all some I have had the pleasure of visiting. Thank you so much from Cape Town

I've been lucky enough to see so many Cathedrals in Europe and the UK, but none has left me as awestruck as Wells Cathedral.
Thank you so much 👏🏼💕💓💗🇦🇺💕💓💗🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇬🇧🇦🇺👏🏼👏🏼💕💓💗 can’t wait for the next one 👍💗💓💕
Absolutely delightful…thank you!
A lovely video. I'm going to go to all of them starting this weekend to Southwark.
Really nice narrative, lovely to listen to..
How many wonderful and faithful Catedral!
Thank you for this video.
Greetings from Italy!
I went to see Wells Cathedrals last year. I was absolutely awe stuck by the size, detail and grandeur. So worth a visit.
Amazing cathedrals
God bless his followers 🙏
Thanks
Thanks for your gift!
Оh! I so liked that serial! Thank you!
Thanks for the beauty footage .
That was wonderful, thank you very much , the lofty Cathedrals were built to help you spiritually to be drawn heaven wards.
Only the spirit of God can draw you heaven ward to God, not a building
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once repent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
That transports me right back to chapel days at school.
Was it not on 5 May during the reign of Henry VIII (I think 1534) that England made its final break from Rome?
Great thanks for this video and for the evangelism of David Suchet!
Very good. Many in the UK would benefit from a Christian pilgrimage. They do not know what they are missing.
Thank you for sharing. I loved it!
Wonderful program, but disappointed Gloucester Cathedral was left out.
Ooh history. Cathedrals and suchet yippee:)
well done.
The Catholic Saxon and Normans sure built some amazing churches.
Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes!
Oh my Gosh, Richard whiting was a martyr! 😮🙏🏼
🧐 Mr. David Suchet. 😇💯💯👋👋👋👋👍👍👍!!💐💐🌹🌹! TO YOU . THANKS . From, (2024).
oh what a lovely video ❤🙏🏻💕
Grandioso documentario , simplesmente espetacular ! marcos lopez - USA
Unfortunate that there are too many commercials to make it enjoyable to watch.
Like many others here, I, too, would like to know if there are any tour companies that have trips to these places. I live in the United States.
tours of excellence company arranges cathedral tours either self driven or with a driver. Search out their website.
thank you
Loved it!

Anybody remember the book pilgrims progress
That voice.
Why is Henry now describing Thomas as a “low-born cleric” when previously it had always been “turbulent priest”?
David Suchet! So inspiring!
Thank you.
Has anyone visited Glastonbury Abbey? Is it worth the time? Looks kind of weak while all the others look breath taking.

People Betty Christ and his church don’t like drawing attention to this fact.
I think Wells is the one I want to see most, after Canterbury maybe.
Fabulous 💜
Exeter Cathedral??? Hope they visit it in a later episode
A wonderful video - but there is one error, David Suchet wrongly states that the Golden Window of Wells cathedral is placed in the Lady chapel, when in truth, it is located in the choir above the high altar - and what a magnificent window it is, too.
I had a colleague who lived in Vicar's Close, beautiful place. He was something to do with Wells Cathedral, a chorister I think.
🇬🇧 re: Poirot .
Dear Sir David,
You are the ONLY Poirot to me. Why haven't you ever made a film playing the part ?
What is the hymn at 14:30? I've heard it before but can't place it.
Liverpool Anglican cathedral is beautiful..and we have two..A Catholic one at the opposite end of Hope street.
Winchester, where I was Ordained.
Let’s hear the organs and choirs of these cathedrals on future installments. Some of your music sounds like it came right out of a recording studio.
What is the recording of "Nicea" at the start?
Hope Exeter on the list as a choirister there in 1960's😅
Canterbury the Very Start? Give me a break. One of the first things Augustine had to do was to meet with the bishops. Pagans had bishops? They were Celtic Christians, who originated in Ireland.
Where can we watch episode 2, please?
