Today we visited a select few of the cathedrals that are seemingly littered across Lisbon. The pictures here are from the Sé Cathedral in the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon. My favorite thing about them, hands down, is always the stained glass windows. Cathedrals, in addition to being architectural wonders, are also marvels of psychology; every single object is created to make you feel the presence of God on Earth, from the soaring columns to the ethereal organ and the dim candlelight. But these windows, even though I know they are simply a trick of light and glass, always make me feel a faith I didn’t even know I had.
