SATURDAY: St John the Divine

 

On Saturday let's sketch what might be NYC's most impressive church.  


In a city of skyscrapers, the Cathedral impresses with sheer size. Its detailed facade towers over Amsterdam Avenue, and the building extends a full avenue block to Morningside Drive.

The Cathedral is more than 120 years old, and remains unfinished. Despite incomplete construction, it is the largest cathedral in the world, making it a global landmark. Incredible ​t​o consider, the Statue of Liberty could fit under the church's dome.
