RejsendeWe’ve toured this cathedral as well. The stained glass was magnificent!!
RejsendeI'm so glad you got to see it too! [ agree that the stained glass really is incredible!!
RejsendeLast night, “60 Minutes” had a segment about the restoration of the cathedral. So interesting!! But sad to learn that the lead architect died on a hiking trip 10 days ago.
RejsendeJust looked up the news article about the architect's death. I hadn't heard about that. Thanks for letting me know.
