yes they are shaped like a cross from above.
Larger churches were needed for large congregations. Cathedrals often were used for such events as consecrations, and almost all coronations took place in cathedrals or other large churches. Events such as these would be attended by huge numbers of people. Cathedrals were also the churches associated with the administrative centers of dioceses. They often had colleges, schools, and monasteries associated with them, the members of which might have attended services in very large numbers more than once every day.
There are churches and cathedrals all over the world named for Saint Cecilia including Santa Cecilia in Trastevere in Rome.
They can be found in churches and cathedrals all around the country. They can also be purchased online at Amazon and Ebay. Some of these pictures include the last supper.
The use of cathedrals was the same in the Middle Ages as it is today, as the church associated with the central administration of a diocese. The diocese is a set of churches grouped according to geographical area. The religious head of a diocese is a bishop, whose church is the cathedral. It is called a cathedral because the bishop's throne is there; the Latin word "cathedra" means seat. The presence of a cathedral was the thing that distinguished a city from a town, for much of the Middle Ages.
The Cathedrals of Europe are not dead but getting closer all the time. Since the end of World War II, Christianity is almost irrelevant for the majority of Europeans, especially in the northern countries. Most cathedrals and churches are nearly empty on any given Sunday. You are finding the same in the United States and Canada in the Episcopal Church, that has some of the finest cathedrals in the world! They are never full and could face financial hardhip in the near future! There is now a great North South divide-with the churches in Africa and Asia experiencing phenomenal growth, and the North where the opposite is occurring! It is likely that by 2050, many Lutheran and Episcopal Cathedrals could become museums and owned by the state! If you mean the singing group The Cathedrals, then yes, three of the five who were last in the group have passed away - Glen Payne died of liver cancer in 1999, George Younce of kidney and heart disease in 2005, and Roger Bennett of leukemia in 2007.
Well, Gothic Cathedrals are gay. They are all black. Nobody likes goths, all they do is loiter and look stupid. Wankers.
All churches, whether missions, parish churches or cathedrals are named for saints. That way the parish has the patronage and protection of a particular saint. That seems a lot more personable than naming a church the West 44th Avenue Catholic Church.
Yes. All koalas are essentially the same shape.
Are all orbits the same shape????
the shape is a regular shape if it has all the same angles and side lengths.
a cube
Some Christians think churches, mosques, and synagogues are all the same thing, but they're not: 1. Churches are churches 2. Synagogues are synagogues 3. Mosques are mosques All 3 are called "places of worship".
