So for those of you looking for student blog Day 4, it will be coming tomorrow provided by Ms. Breanna Rhode. In the mean time I found this to be EXTREMELY interesting. Today for lunch we toured the famous "National Cathedral" in D.C. This enormous building is incredibly beautiful inside and out. Every single brick and piece of wood in this Cathedral was hand carved with the most detail. The Cathedral started being built in 1903 and was finished in 1990. We learned on our tour that while it was being built they would like to add a piece of American History to it as they years went by. They had this magnificent stained glass window of the US moon landing with a piece of moon rock right in the center and a 3 piece stained glass set commemorating all of our fallen US soldiers in war.
But the coolest piece of history that I am surprised that I did not know of already, was that apparently Star Wars made such an impact in our Nation's History and with Jesus that they made a Darth Vader Grotesque that sits on the northeast side of one of the towers at the National Cathedral.... I'm not lying. It was up so high that we could not get a good picture of it, but here are some pictures of what it looks like up close. Enjoy!
God Bless America and may the Force be with her!
