Notre Dame Cathedral

We went to the Notre Dame Cathedral today. We saw very cool architecture. I thought the stained glass windows were amazing because they had pictures of old times and religious pictures. It was sad when we lit a candle for Mackenzie because we miss him and always will. We also made a donation to bring a candle home for Auntie Jill and Uncle Lanny.


We paid extra money to go into the treasury. The treasury held many precious items from the church. Some items were crowns made of gold, silver, and diamond. They had many chalises from the 1500's and 1600's. There was lots of art showing Jesus Christ's death. There were stone carvings telling stories by pictures. I got to pet a stone gargoyle.
There was service going on and someone was singing. Many people were crying. Everyone was very quiet. Everyone was respectful, spiritual, calm, and felt empathy for those who had lost someone.

We got to ring a small bell in the gift shop and when we went outside we saw the bell tower with all the gargoyles and heard the bells and chimes. They were not loud and disturbing. Instead they were relaxing and their sound echoes all over the area.
