Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a religious person. This doesn't stop me from wanting to tour places of worship. Almost all are over the top and create so much awe. I can see why religious people feel inspired by going to church, so for this Easter weekend, I wanted to share some photos I've taken from our travels and visits to churches of all kinds.
St. Gile's Cathedral in Edinburgh.
The amazing organ in the small, but lovely Greyfriar's Kirk in Edinburgh. Their rafters are made from imported lumber from the Pacific Northwest.
A carved panel from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris (several years before the fire).
Ruins from the catholic church off the Palace at Holyrood in Edinburgh. Now a resting place for former royals.
The ruins of St. Dunstan-In-The-East in the middle of the city of London. Only some of the walls still stand and it's now a gorgeous and relaxing park.
I paid a small fee to be able to take photos inside St. Giles's Cathedral in Edinburgh, and boy was it worth it. Everywhere you look is something phenomenal.
Edinburgh Castle has a few outbuildings, including a small chapel that may fit about 20 guests for a wedding, which they hold here, and you can see why when you arrive. St. Margaret's Chapel may be mini, but the small stained glass windows are a lovely addition and only enhance the sweet little alter.
Even when you're out to sea you have the option to worship, grieve, and pray. This is a small chapel on the U.S.S. Midway in San Diego.
Churches and chapels come in many shapes and sizes. These are just a few of the ones we've seen in recent years. I hope everyone who celebrates has a great Easter, and those who don't, I hope you have a great weekend.
Do you have a favorite church from your travels?
