Hello Stemians, I know I have been absent from the community for a while now, I made promises to post more about my stay in Barbados, I didn't get to do so because of reasons like work and other daily routines.
I apologise to all my readers, I did take pictures and now that I have the time I will dedicate more to sharing my experiences to you guys. Anyhow my time finished in Barbados so I had to return back to my homeland Venezuela, also have some posts pending for my time spent there, I am presently In Guyana, home country of my parents, its not my first or second visit, but my first since I've joined this awesome community.
In my time here on steemit, I did some research and didn't find any posts on this wonderful country, I am not going to write about it either in this post, but since I am visiting I will make posts on some of the places i visit - mostly short posts with pictures taken by me.
So right on to the point of this post, today we will be discovering St Georges Cathedral.
Exterior
This wonder is One The tallest wooden churches in the world, at a height of 43.5 metres (143 ft), It was completed on the 8th of November 1894.
interior
St. George's Cathedral is characterised mainly by Gothic arches, clustered columns and flying buttresses. The interior of the church makes for fascinating history. Whether it is an article of furniture, the chalices, the memorial tablets or the Baptism registers - they all tell a story. The story is not only about Guyana's history, but glimpses of its Caribbean neighbours are also revealed. There is a small Gothic shrine of carved oak in the northern aisle that commemorates Bishop Coleridge, first Bishop of Barbados, who was responsible for British Guiana from 1826 to 1842. (More on this in a future post about Guyana)
painting of the crucifixion and ascension of Christ.
This wonder was built entirely with a native wood of Guyana called Greenheart.
That conclude this amazing experience, hope you guys enjoyed reading about it.
More short posts like this coming soon, short writing but with the most information I can provide and of course, the best quality pictures I can provide for your viewing pleasure.
