华盛顿国家大教堂的点评
点评：The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Episcopal Diocese of Washington is known as National Cathedral. Its construction started in 1907 and ended 83 years later. Planners hoped it would play a role similar to Westminster Abbey. It is the second-largest church in the United States, and the third-tallest building in Washington, D.C. Funding for Washington National Cathedral has come entirely from private sources and cost in the region of 63 million dollars. Most of the big donors are mentioned all around the church e.g. on the pillars near the floor. Maintenance and upkeep continue to rely entirely on private support.
State funerals for American presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, Ford, George H. W. Bush and Carter have been held at the cathedral. Also many Presidential prayer services were held the day after the inaugurations or memorial services. All these details and more we learn from lovely lady who led guided tour.
There are several chapels and for myself the most beautiful was Mary's chapel. The high altar called Jerusalem altar is stunning, carved stones are from the same quarry from which the stones for Solomon's Temple were quarried. It was great to hear that the Bishop's Chair is made from the stones of Glastonbury Abbey.
We never saw two pulpits like they are here. "Canterbury Pulpit" was carved from stones from Canterbury Cathedral and Martin Luther King Jr. delivered here his final Sunday sermon on March 31, 1968, four days before his assassination.
In War Memorial Chapel I liked the Tree of Life with stitched emblems of the Armed Forces and the Great Seal of the United States - this is wonderful piece of art.
The cathedral is still under restoration in some areas from the 2011 earthquake. The hope is to finish it till 2030.
It was very interesting visit and we found so many links to England.

翻译：位于华盛顿特区圣彼得和圣保罗主教座堂，又称国家大教堂，是华盛顿特区圣公会教区的标志性建筑。教堂始建于1907年，历时83年方才竣工。设计者希望它能像威斯敏斯特教堂一样，发挥举足轻重的作用。它是美国第二大教堂，也是华盛顿特区第三高的建筑。华盛顿国家大教堂的建设资金全部来自私人捐赠，总造价约为6300万美元。教堂各处都铭刻着主要捐赠者的名字，例如地板附近的柱子上。教堂的维护和保养也完全依赖于私人捐助。
美国总统艾森豪威尔、里根、福特、老布什和卡特的国葬都曾在此举行。此外，许多总统的就职典礼或追悼会后的第二天，也在此举行祈祷仪式。所有这些细节，以及更多精彩内容，都是我们从一位带领我们参观的女士那里了解到的。
这里有好几座小教堂，我个人最喜欢圣母玛利亚小教堂。被称为耶路撒冷祭坛的高坛令人叹为观止，其雕刻的石头与建造所罗门圣殿的石头出自同一采石场。听说主教的宝座是用格拉斯顿伯里修道院的石头制成的，真是令人兴奋。
我们从未见过像这里一样有两个讲坛。“坎特伯雷讲坛”是用坎特伯雷大教堂的石头雕刻而成，马丁·路德·金于1968年3月31日，也就是他遇刺前四天，在这里发表了他最后一次主日布道。
在战争纪念教堂里，我很喜欢那棵生命之树，上面绣着美国武装部队的徽章和美国国徽——这真是一件精美的艺术品。
大教堂的部分区域仍在修复中，修复工作在2011年的地震后完成。希望能在2030年之前完工。
这次参观非常有趣，我们发现了很多与英国相关的元素。
