I wanna talk about the journey of last week we went to the Canterbury. It was a exciting trip, we went to the Canterbury cathedral first, it is truly amazing church, huge and gorgeous, when I know only one topic I can choose write into my project, I was super tangle, because the cathedral have too many things I want to explore, so after consider, I was decision to write Gothic style of cathedral in project 2.
Even finished project 2, I’m still want to talk about the colourful window, this is another treasure of cathedral. Some of the glass windows are hundreds of years old, people call them rose window.
In the typical Western composition of the Gothic church, a pair of towers clip the gables of the hall and are vertically divided into three parts. The railings on the eaves of the gables and the long niches in the gate caves with statues of the Jewish and Israeli kings connect the three parts horizontally. In the center, between the railing and the niche, is a circular rose window, which symbolizes the purity of the Virgin Mary (it is also said that the rose symbolizes the Messiah, Jesus Christ; the rose in the Bible also represents the ancient blood and female worship).
Each window tells a story about Jesus, looking at these windows in book, such an experience makes me very enjoy. If have another chance I want to explore more rose window to more beautiful cathedral.
