When you step inside St. Patricks Cathedral, there is a feeling that one cannot describe without having been there. Here is a huge Gothic style church thrown into an area that is full of skyscrapers, shops, people and noise. But once you step through the big entrance doors, everything fades away and a peaceful silence falls upon you. It is a feeling like no other, here in the thick of the action in one of the biggest cities in the world, is a place of peace, of calm and of surreal serenity that cannot be found anywhere else in the city.
It is known as the centre of Catholic life in the United States and visitors can come and attend the some of the several daily masses that take place. There is also a valuable opportunity to take tours of this magnificent old building and really appreciate the architecture, the beautiful windows and peaceful ambience. Make sure to enjoy the gift shop and grab something special or just nice religious items.
It just takes a few minutes to enjoy the beautiful church, so take the time off shopping on Fifth Avenue and admiring the
Manhattan Music Venues
and take a look, you will be so glad you did and it is free. Of all the beautiful churches in the world, St. Patricks Cathedral is definitely up there and any visit to New York would not be complete without a visit here.
