"Northern Europe's largest Gothic cathedral...1000-year-old treasure house of architecture and richly coloured stained glass..." - Lonely Planet, Europe
One of the points that I should highlight here is that, on the day when I have travelled all over the UK, I would have more than a hundred of pictures of cathedral and unfortunately I think I could only name less than 10 of them. But just for now, the spotlight cathedral should fall on York Minster, which is no doubt, located in York itself.
Too much historical background under this roof, that the length might act as a perfect lullaby at the end of the story. On the day of my visit, I couldn't agree more on the fact that DSLRs are as many as the number of visitors there. They may be ordinary visitors, but they can also be prominent archictects who came all the way to embrace the whole structural and artistic elements. Therefore, if you are walking in to have a look-n-go, you are not experiencing York Minster to the full.
The Cross
The Archbishops Cathedral
Wonderful combination of antique organ and organist
The Quire
In memorial of
A basement found underneath the stairs - the ancient structure
What's the mystery behind this little York?
I have a quiet moment sitting in the middle of the Archbishops Cathedral, holding the New English Hyminal in hand, and feeling totally surrounded by great music from an antique organ and revealing stones, windows and fabrics. Peaceful. "The very acts of singing, playing and hearing connect us to levels and ranges of meaning which go beyond words", it is really a perfect line to describe.
This is a place of worship, of history, art and people.
As my glance was so busy flown from one sculpture to another, the living sculpture, as I believed it was, in fact an organ recitalist in the cathedral, caught my attention. Dressed in the traditional red robe while fingers striked on the organ keyboard, it is yet another sight which you can't miss during your visit there.
The quire is beautiful. As far as I can relate it to, England is such a country where the element of traditional and sovereignty are found in every such aspects as religion, law, architecture and so on. Excuse me if I ever mess up some jargons being used in architecture studies. Somehow, it resembles a court, or you may say, a Parliament.
Being so tiny I found myself inside the magnificent architecture, I reckon I am even shallow in understanding the whole history behind it. The cross, the chapter house, the towers and maybe the windows.
Just the other day I was seeking peace, I found York Minster is the best place to be.
