Last month in a publication that I shared in this same community, I showed you the external part of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, a structure with a very interesting shape in which the Syrian-Catholic religion lives. In that opportunity I could not take pictures in the internal part since it was closed, in fact, I consulted with the security personnel if there was the possibility of letting me enter for a couple of minutes, but they denied me access, they told me that the doors are only open when there are masses or other activities, so it was impossible and I only had the opportunity to return another day.
Frankly I had never been inside this cathedral, but some friends had told me that there were very interesting and picturesque structural elements that I could use for my blog. What happens is that I don't live nearby, so going back after the first time I went was unlikely, but I knew that at some point I would have the opportunity. So one afternoon when I was sharing with some friends very close by, it occurred to me that it was the perfect time to go inside to take pictures, and well, fortunately for me the doors were open.
As you may have noticed in the three previous photos, the triangular elements are quite striking on the roof and in the stained glass window in the background. I am impressed by how well the white ceiling is perfectly painted and with what appear to be some crosses that are repeated every certain distance, from my point of view that gives it a very distinctive touch and that takes away from its simplicity. On the other hand, the stained glass window showing the image of Christ with open arms looks quite imposing, I suppose that when the sunlight hits it directly it generates a striking visual effect, even more so considering that this window is directly over the altar where masses are celebrated.
Now, I consider that the previous stained glass window is not the most impressive since the one above the entrance has a more complex shape. In addition to the fact that it is triangular, I notice that it is not completely flat, which I suppose increases the complexity of the construction, besides, it is much more colorful, so the play of light that it generates must be spectacular. Unfortunately for me, I took these at dusk, so I could not capture the effect that the sunlight produces in the stained glass when it is at its maximum splendor. There are also rectangular stained glass windows on the sides of the structure, but these are smaller and simpler.
I want to highlight briefly the columns that are in the internal part, these seem to be of marble, but of a quite particular and distinguished color. The surface is embossed and at the top they have a golden ribbon that bring elegance and showiness, I must say that I have rarely seen columns of that style.
I know that the following photos may not be of architectural interest, but it seemed unfair to exclude them considering that my intention is also to show you every corner of the sites I visit and share with you. As you can see, these are elements that we usually see in most religious temples, there is not much to highlight these.
So with this post I finish sharing with you all the spaces of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, a place that inspires a certain peace and transmits an air of grandeur through its impressive stained glass windows. I would have liked to show you everything in one post, but as I told you, it was impossible. I hope you liked it, see you soon.
