The Sunday Traveler ~ Notre Dame, Angels in Infinity

 

 

He looks around, around; he sees angels in the architecture spinning in infinity, He says, “Amen!” and “Hallelujah!” ~ Paul Simon

Walking through Notre Dame, though crowded with people from all over the world, I felt as if I was the only person there; lost in the art, the architecture, seeing those angels spinning in infinity.

I do believe that one walks into this church amidst the crowds and dissolves into oneself, to absorb the incredible works of art, and to pray. Alone or together in the way you alone can pray, with whatever your prayer is.

The immensity of this church is unimaginable. One knows this cathedral is large from reading information prior to going. And then you walk in. It’s larger than whatever you might have imagined.

Two and a half hours here skimmed the surface. I’ll be back.

Until next week, when The Sunday Traveler will take you elsewhere within this great city
