St. John's Cathedral

Waxy, white candles sit in the corner waiting to be lit silently
Colored glass panes cover the walls near the ceiling.
Marble statues surround the room.
Clear, glassy holy water that is blessed by the priest.

The colored beams of light shine in so beautifully.
The gleaming mahogany benches sparkle in the light.
The golden bells reflect the light everywhere.

The hushed voices discuss the history of the cathedral.
The giant, golden bells ring the time.

How long did the Cathedral take to build?
How many people were married here?

I feel holy in the cathedral.
I feel interested in the history of the church.
I feel it is a reminder.

A reminder.
A reminder.
A reminder.
