Duke University has a catheral that we found fascinating. It was gothic style and quite intricately constructed. On the interior were stained glass windows. Each window depicted a time in the life of Jesus Christ, so we walked around the cathedral looking at the workmanship of each window. For example, one window would show the events in Jesus life as a youth and how his dad taught him how to be a carpenter, etc. In the background a person was playing this dramatic organ music, which reminded me of Pirates of the Carribean, so it all came together for a pretty neat experience.
This is me trying to figure out what time in the life of Jesus Christ this window represents.
This is the massive organ pounding out the music. If you look closely at the curved wooden section to the left of the small pipes you can see the organist with an assistant turning the sheet music.
