 National Cathedral Inside - July 2004

The Cathedral is a working Episcopal church.  While photography is allowed, it is not an easy task given the lighting.  I did my best.

Carving of Jesus on the cross

An ornate altar. Alex pointed out the Jesus is holding the "Holy Hand Grenade" which will mean nothing to you if you are a Monty Python fan

Focus on Jesus section of the carving

Organ pipes in the choir loft. This section was roped off and the lights were very dim. Sorry for the quality.
