I traveled around 11 countries backpacking in Europe, and I saw scores of\u00a0beautiful\u00a0and inspiring\u00a0cathedrals. As I would enter them, I appreciated the art, the\u00a0architecture, and their\u00a0magnificence. It wasn’t something I was used to. Typical buildings of worship I was used to didn’t involve such\u00a0grander. Spiritually for me, it helped to sharpen the import of my overall faith tradition of Christianity that extends more than 2,000 years. The efforts to build such amazing places to bring glory to God, and reflect his splendor, put me into a state of awe and reverence. But it wasn’t so much for the religious habits of the people involved in those efforts, but because of the character, nature, and vitality of the Creator God we worship and love.<\/p>\n

Even though I got to see St Peter’s\u00a0cathedral\u00a0at the Vatican, and various places of worship in Florance, and even St. Paul’s in London, my favorite cathedral was, surprisingly, in Praha (Prague). The St. Vitus cathedral was breath-taking. Here are images I found at prague.net<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Where have <\/strong>you<\/strong><\/em> traveled, near or far, grand or simple, that has had a spiritual impact on you, and why?<\/strong>\u00a0Share a response here. Please enjoy these photos of St Vitus, too, and try to visit one day, you won’t regret it. (click to enlarge)<\/p>\n
