St. Paul Cathedral, St. Paul, Minnesota

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist showing the last clip so you can get an idea of the immense size of this structure. I guess you don't have to travel to Europe to see wonderful cathedrals. My sister-in-law feels this matches nearly every cathedral they saw in Europe. So start with this clip and move down through my others and you will move from the outside to the inside of this great church.

One more clip from St. Paul

St. Paul Cathedral, St. Paul, Minnesota


We had the opportunity to see the Vatican exhibit (bone fragment of St. Peter)at the St. Paul History Museum over Christmas break which was amazing. The St. Paul Cathedral across the street is equally amazing and should be on the must see list of church goers regardless of Protestant/Catholic leanings. I apologize for no more clips, batteries died but I would like to get back some day. There was going to be wedding in a side chapel so it was roped off but a person could still walk throughout and soak up the majesty of our Lord. What wonderful, unexpected stops on our Christmas travels to Minnesota. This ranks above the basilica in Dwyersville, Iowa but you really can't compare a large city with a small town.
