Leaving the horse outside

I enter through the only one of the 8 entrances (thanks Mastercard) open to me and am confronted by 80 chapels inside. In the old days that would have entailed 8 or 9 rolls of film to record: I pledge not to do so. The longest nave in Spain, a country famous for its naves, spreads out over 8816 sq m and rises a lofty 42m.

Before the 2nd Vatican Council which changed many rituals, the Office of Darkness was held during the 3 days before Easter. The large candelabra was a fixture.
The 14 candles, representing the 11 Apostles, (excluding the naughty Judas Iscariot,) and the 3 Marys, were extinguished one by one after each Psalm was said during Matins and Lauds.
