Over the centuries, the splendor of these sacred
structures has inspired believers, poets, painters and writers alike. The Medieval
Gothic Cathedrals are the most beautiful religious buildings the Christian
World has created.
Their breathtaking material appearance is a symbol of the Christian faith,
as they literally try to reach heaven. Their orientation East-West is
an expression of man's advancement towards God.
Entering the cathedral
from the West, you are surrounded by symbols. First, is the pattern of
the labyrinth in the floor stone. What else then a Labyrinth life is?
Going towards East, you leave the Labyrinth behind and start feeling the
spirituality replacing the material, as you advance through the Nave,
guided by the surreal light coming from the stained glass windows. In
the end, you reach the eastern end chapels. There, closer to the raising
sun (God), is the place of praying and profound meditation.
