Awed by a Thousand Year Old Cathedral in Ireland - Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin

Wherever we travel to any city in the world, one of the places we always like to visit is the place of worship. If it is a Sunday, we would look for a church and join the locals for a Sunday service.

In Dublin, it was no exception. We joined an evening service at the Christ Church, Dublin's oldest cathedral. It was during the middle of the week. We arrived to the church in the late afternoon and missed the last tour. Fortunately for us, we there was an Evensong Choral service which was great! Since we were leaving before Sunday, this was the only opportunity we had to attend a church service there.

We learned that Christ Church Cathedral is one of Ireland’s most historic and sacred places. Originally a Viking church, it has been welcoming pilgrims and visitors for almost 1,000 years! This Anglican cathedral is a magificent building with spectacular architectural elements such as the beautiful Nave with its vaulted ceilings and medieval tiled floor. We also had a glimpse of the crypt, the city’s oldest working structure, with its 11th century stone walls and medieval interior, we felt as if we were transported into another world! Christ Church Cathedral is steeped in history and is definitely a place worth visiting if you are a history buff like my huaband! RT, Dublin, Ireland
