Stunning Modern Stained Glass
St Monica's Cathedral的点评
点评：We had visited the Cairns Aquarium and discovered that St Monica's Cathedral was just a short walk away, literally up the road and what a beautiful, beautiful place.
The interior of the building itself is very simple, clean lines and muted colours but then you look to the side and behind you and are just stunned by the stained glass.
The multiple panels depict the story of the creation from the Book of Genesis and are absolutely amazing, you need to really stand back from each side so that you can take in the whole wall and follow the sequence.
Even if you don't visit from a faith perspective, you would be challenged not to be in awe of the artistry of these panels, which lift the cathedral's simple interior to something very very special.
The original purpose of stained glass windows, other than the wealthy and privileged showing off their riches, was to tell stories for the great mass of parishoners who couldn't read the Word, and this modern version does this brilliantly, with vibrancy, power and real drama.
An absolute must on a visit to Cairns.

翻译：我们参观了凯恩斯水族馆，发现圣莫尼卡大教堂就在步行几步之遥的地方，就在路上，真是一个美丽的地方。
建筑物内部非常简单，线条简洁，色彩柔和，但当你看向侧面和身后时，你会被彩色玻璃所震惊。
多个面板描绘了《创世纪》中的创世故事，绝对令人惊叹，你需要从每一侧退后一步，这样你才能看到整面墙并按照顺序观看。
即使你不是从信仰的角度来参观，你也会对这些面板的艺术性感到敬畏，它们将大教堂简单的内部提升到非常非常特别的境界。
彩色玻璃窗的最初目的，除了富人和特权阶层炫耀他们的财富之外，是为了向无法阅读圣经的广大教区居民讲述故事，而这个现代版本以活力、力量和真实的戏剧性出色地完成了这一点。
这是游览凯恩斯时绝对必须去的地方。
