There is nothing, in any form, that is implied about the glory of cathedrals. These stone giants are simply glorious in their size, design and aesthetic appeal all integrated into their design plan and play an important role in the growth of faith in Christianity. But what is a cathedral? By their very nature, they are holy places of worship for Christians. Unlike churches which are basic places of worship suited to most of the critical requirements of Christianity, cathedrals are massive places of worship which serve as the headquarters of the local diocese, or districts, of the certain sect of Christianity which 'surrounds and are also where the bishops reside. They are one of the most sacred places of worship for Christians, but why? They are huge, they are the district seat and the bishop lives there, which seems extremely important; but, unlike all other religions, these most sacred places of worship do not necessarily need to have historical significance, a connection to the Holy Scriptures, or a notable presence of God or a prophet of God in the past or present. So what makes these cathedrals so holy? The answer is simple: moderately easy access for all Christians to a nearby place that seems to have fallen from the sky, blessed with decorative art, an omniscient aura and above all a staggering size in which they can worship and bask in the glory of their religion. Today's largest cathedral was erected in the 1500s, long before the time of any American president we have ever had. The Roman Catholic Cathedral of Seville, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See, resides in Spain. The most striking aspect of this building other than its size is that the majority of the elements inside and... middle of paper... would not have had the success it enjoys today.Works cited"Architecture of cathedrals and large churches.
