St. Stephen's Cathedral





This is one of the most beautiful cathedrals that I have ever seen in person. We were drawn to it the night of New Year’s Eve and Joy wanted to go to pay it a visit as soon as we set out on New Year’s Day. The enormous size and detailed, gothic design of St. Stephen’s left us awestruck. Inside was just as beautiful. Knowing that so many moments that were held way before our existence occurred in this building left us with an eerie yet peaceful feeling. Joy was particularly touched by our time here. Leah and I sat off to the side and gave Joy time to soak in everything that this moment was to her. As we left, Joy lit a candle to memorialize her experience at St. Stephens. It was such a neat and intimate way for us to start 2009 together.
