| Cantebury Cathedral in England |
UNITED KINGDOM - Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest Christian churches in England and it continues to play a central role in English Christianity. Originally founded in 602 AD by St. Augustine, it still functions as the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The Canterbury Cathedral is well known for it an exceptionally beautiful and well-preserved medieval glass windows and interesting biblical subjects. The Presentation of Christ at the temple is one such story. This is the usual form of the scene, with Mary handing the Christ Child across the altar to St Simeon. But note the long candles held by the figures on each side, which reflect the liturgical celebration of this event on
Candlemas.
