    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.

Their constructions,decorativity in stone/glass/marquetry/and other media were quite a feat and feast for the senses!

    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.

    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 😊

    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.

    • @JohnMatthews-tv7tf
      @JohnMatthews-tv7tf 7 місяців тому +37

      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’

    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?

    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.
