time provided all of Europe’s education in their monasteries and universities. They also created and built unbelievably beautiful works of art in the forms of stained glass and architecture. Christianity became very popular with the early barbaric tribes. These tribes prayed for victory. The barbarians also wanted to go to heaven despite the deadly sins they committed in battle. When they settled and became more civilized, they built local places of worship, which served as churches. Most…

Lincoln Cathedral is without a doubt a very well-established building which has received centuries of admiration, but perhaps generically towards its size and impressive dating alone. My subjective experience of the space both internally and externally made me realise that my appreciation and warming towards the structure was provoked from a relational feeling as if the cathedral possessed life-like qualities itself. The visual expression of structure, use of living materials, the sound it…

Robert Carver uses the character Bub, in his short story “Cathedral”, to demonstrate the difference between being physically blind and emotionally blind. Bub proves that he is capable of seeing the physical things around him, such as his wife, his home, his marijuana, and even the blind man Robert, who eventually changes his outlook on life. However, these sights are all on the surface and have no deep meaning to Bub and his one track minded life style. In fact others authors including Mark…

The room with the music controls my dad used to use so the voice of the choir could be heard by all did not excite me as much. No more did the wall made of rocks look climbable. It was all that I had remembered, but not. What made it more meaningful than any of these memories though, is that my grandfather was the head of the church.…

signed up to take Stained Glass, I did not know what to expect. I had a vague idea that maybe we would make some glass and solder it together to create a window. I thought it would be an simplistic quick process, but I soon learned that my assumptions were wrong. After finishing my heart, I started to realize that Stained Glass is a very serious and complex artform. However, I did not fully realize the amount of dedication and hard work required to create this art until finishing my first…

stained glass they produced. Their daily life was somewhat similar to other peasants in their community because they wore the same clothes and they ate the same food. On the other hand, the glazier would travel and live in workshops instead of staying in one area like other peasants. Furthermore, the glazier had a challenging job because of how stained glass was created, the tools that was used for stained glass, and the training the glazier they had to finish. Lastly, the glazier’s magnificent…

The Cathedral looms over viewers as they walk past and tourists line up expectantly waiting for their turn to enter one of the hottest tourists sites of Paris—Notre Dame de Paris. This Cathedral that was once a place of worship has lost most of the prayerful atmosphere it once would of held and now hosts a gift shop as well as a museum including a relic of the crown of thorns (that of course, people can see for a fee). At first glance the throngs of tourists may deter people from appreciating…
