Peterborough cathedral

We spent the afternoon in Peterborough...did some shopping,
and then decided to take a walk round the Cathedral ( our 3 girls aged - 14,12 & 9 - groaned!)...

to my delight they enjoyed the Cathedral - the architecture, the history, the atmosphere...

i grew up in Peterborough and took this ancient edifice for granted...i remember once playing my electric guitar in this beautiful sanctuary when i was a youngster...at the time i didn't appreciate the ancient spirituality that the cathedral represented.

today i see the value of the ancient; the deep spirituality, contemplative prayer, lectio divina...
by the way, i bought myself an icon from the Cathedral...
