点评:I discovered the Metropolitan Cathedral on our second day in Panama. I had originally stopped by just to check the Sunday Mass time, and was kindly directed to Denis, who spoke English. He shared that there is one Mass held at 12:00 p.m. on Sundays, which I was happy to learn.
But what happened next was an unexpected blessing. Denis offered to tell us more about the cathedral, and what followed was a beautiful and heartfelt journey through its history. As he guided my son and me through the cathedral, he shared fascinating stories about its architecture, significance, and the visits from both Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis in 2019.
What began as a simple inquiry turned into a meaningful and memorable experience. The Metropolitan Cathedral is not only stunning in its beauty, but it’s also a sacred space rich in history.
Thank you, Denis, for taking the time to share such a special part of Panama with us. It’s a moment my son and I will always hold dear.
翻译:我在巴拿马的第二天发现了大都会大教堂。我原本只是想去看看周日弥撒的时间,结果被好心地引见给了会说英语的丹尼斯。他告诉我,每周日中午12点会有一场弥撒,我很高兴得知这一点。
但接下来发生的事情却出乎意料地让我感到欣慰。丹尼斯主动向我们详细介绍了这座大教堂,接下来的旅程是一段美好而感人的历史之旅。他带领我和儿子参观大教堂,分享了关于大教堂建筑、意义以及2019年教皇约翰·保罗二世和方济各访问的精彩故事。
最初只是一次简单的询问,却变成了一次意义非凡、令人难忘的经历。大都会大教堂不仅美得令人惊叹,而且也是一座历史悠久的圣地。
丹尼斯,谢谢你抽出时间与我们分享巴拿马如此特别的一面。这是我和儿子永远珍藏的美好时光。
