点评:We visited Notre Dame de Quebec Cathedral Basilica during our recent visit to Old Quebec City. It honors Saint Francois de Laval, the first bishop of Quebec who played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Catholic Church in Canada.
The modest exterior architecture of Notre Dame did not prepare us for the large golden sculptured canopy over the altar (see photos posted by other reviewers). There are chapels within Notre Dame including the Chapel of the Sacred Heart. Here we saw the Holy Door, one of only eight worldwide.
Through the gates next to the basilica, we entered the large courtyard of the Seminaire de Quebec that has been training priests since it was established in the 1600s. We read that the buildings that form the courtyard date back to the 1600-1800s.
We were unable to visit Notre Dame's museum and crypt that are closed to visitors after the Canada Labour Day weekend. Visit the church website to a link for a very good geo360 interactive tour of the church, museum and crypt.
翻译:我们最近访问魁北克老城时,参观了魁北克圣母大教堂。它是为了纪念圣弗朗索瓦·德·拉瓦尔,他是魁北克的首任主教,在加拿大天主教会的建立中发挥了关键作用。
圣母院朴素的外部建筑并没有让我们对祭坛上方巨大的金色雕塑华盖产生兴趣(参见其他评论者发布的照片)。圣母院内有多个小堂,包括圣心小堂。在这里,我们看到了圣门,它是全球仅有的八扇圣门之一。
穿过大教堂旁边的大门,我们进入了魁北克神学院的大庭院,该学院自17世纪成立以来一直致力于培养神父。我们了解到,构成庭院的建筑可以追溯到17世纪至19世纪。
我们未能参观圣母院的博物馆和地下室,因为加拿大劳动节周末后不对游客开放。访问教堂网站的链接,可以进行非常好的教堂、博物馆和地下室的 geo360 互动游览。
