The Cathedral looks like a Castle or a Fortress made of stone. It is tall and strong Cathedrals, churches and other houses of worship have protected people from physical threats throughout the ages. Believers will say that they are protected from moral and spiritual threats.
Beautiful bodies in pain, fighting the fires of hell. what did they do to deserve this?
The stained glass window is shaped like a circle. There is no beginning and no end. Just like God. But in the middle of the circle especially when there is light, there is beauty and it is complicated. Just like life.
Abraham Lincoln has come to symbolize an ideology of righteousness, unity, equality, justice. This statue of him and the quote in the background shows strength and intelligence. Seeing this statue at the Cathedral as the Martin Luther King Day mass was going on brought together the two men in my mind under the same ideology.
“I am a man.” This photo speaks for itself.

The gathering in the Cathedral is like other gatherings of people for thousands of years. These people gather to pray, sing and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr’s life and message. They gather in the church as part of a ritual. They sing as a way of showing their emotion. Rituals of gathering and expressing emotion give comfort. We can find each other in rituals like these people have found each other in the Cathedral. A community is formed from people sharing rituals together.
