Cathedral of the Holy Name

0  Views

Built in the ‘early decorated’ English Gothic architectural style, the Cathedral took my breath away. Literally.

Architecturally, it has a narrow tall hall with vaulted ceilings and an impressive altar with three colorful strained glass windows with a chandelier hanging in the front. Ceilings in a rich yellow colour depict the scenes from Christ’s life. The white lines criss-crossing across the ceiling provide the outlines and create the sections while providing a pattern. Arches below have the frescos on a pale green background while the empty spaces are filled in yellow and pink with geometric designs. The whole play of bright yet pleasant colors is what makes this place vibrant and charming. There are idols on the walls that add to the beauty.
