We had seen Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria several times from moving buses. We learned that it was open to visitors and on our latest visit we took a walk to see it. It is a Canadian Anglican denomination.
On a warm day it was welcoming and peaceful. Here we’re facing the front of the church. The original structure was built in 1929 and the sanctuary was built in 1980. The sanctuary choir room has stained glass windows, seen here beyond the trio of clear glass windows.
At the back is a magnificent organ. Can you imagine how its music fills the church?
This is the first keyboard instrument used in the cathedral. It was built in 1862 and shipped around Cape Horn.
My photos barely do the cathedral justice. If you’ve time, click the link above for a better sense of its beauty.
There is a labyrinth on the church grounds outside. We appreciated the opportunity to enjoy a peaceful walking meditation before we left.
What a beautiful church!
The link was fantastic and your photos are too, the ceiling and stained glass windows are gorgeous 💙 Happy weekend Kay ✨
It is gorgeous inside!
The cathedral is gorgeous. I love the organ, it must sound incredible when it’s played.
Thanks for the link.
Yes I can imagine the pipe organ music. At the cathedral that I attend on an occasional basis the organists are very “enthusiastic” and have no trouble filling the big space.
