Christ Church Cathedral was established in 1823 as the first Episcopal congregation in Mobile, Alabama and the first in the State of Alabama. In 1906 a major hurricane swept through the Mobile area and the storm crushed the original steeple tough the roof destroying both in the process. Today the new steeple has installed with blow out windows which will prevent damage should there be another hurricane.
The church is beautiful inside.
The stained glass windows are outstanding with two of them being Tiffany glass windows.
There is an opportunity to undertake a tour of the windows of the Christ Church Cathedral. The widows includeThe Creation, Washing the Feet of Jesus, Jesus Blesses the Children, Nicodemus Meeting Jesus at Night, The Marriage of Isaac and Rebecca, The Holy Communion, The Baptism of Jesus,Stilling the Tempest, Jesus Meets Nathanael, The Miracle at Cana, The Risen Lord.
Vestibule windows include Miracle of Feeding the Five Thousand and The Four Gospel Writers.
Cheers,
Beverley and Ross
