Quebec Cathedral de Notre Dame

 The Cathedral de Notre Dame in Quebec City was rebuilt after a fire burned down the original cathedral in 1922. This beautiful cathedral felt every inch older than 89 years!
 The entrance through these wrought iron gates led into a dark vestibule and massive doors leading into the church itself.
 These two candles were lit for my friends Harriet and Sharon because they've both been struggling with health issues this past year.
I was just trying to take in all the beautiful elements of this church! Gorgeous carvings, gilded archways and statues, stained glass windows telling stories of the Bible.

I wasn't the only one taking pictures after mass. 

 The two candles in the middle were lit for two special intentions, one of them my dissertation work!

 They just don't make confessionals like this any more!

This mass was conducted in French and was memorable just for that alone!
