At the top of almost anyone's short list of things to do in Savannah is to see the magnificent French Gothic style cathedral church in Savannah. It deserves the honor. After the fire of 1898 the church had to be rebuilt. And as recently as 1996-2000, the church went through some major work and restoration. So what you see today is simply beautiful. If you love it as much as I do, please remember to leave a nice little donation. One church looks very nice from the outside, but you have to pay for a tour. And another is always locked up. We missed the time of the free tour at the oldest Baptist church. Maybe next time we'll see it. The cathedral is always free, for quiet time & prayer, or just for inspiration.
Cathedral St. John the Baptist, Front
Wonderful Old Side Door
There are 3 naves, the one on the rightis dedicated to the Virgin Mary
Be sure to look up!
The ceiling is breathtaking!Still resizing pictures. Be back soon.
Those photos are nothing short of stupendous. I can never get good indoor church shots, so getting to see these is just wonderful!
