St. John the Divine gave us our conception of what the Apocalypse will be like. The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is the largest cathedral in the world, and is rich in images of the entire universe—from beginning to end, many of them hidden in plain sight.
An unfinished symphony of medieval revival architecture and New York City determination, the structure is of both the old and new worlds. Why is it unfinished? Gaze upwards at the ribs, vaults, buttresses, beasts, prophets and pinnacles to find out. Explore the ancient and modern narratives revealed in the radiant stained glass windows. Climb between the walls for a spectacular view down the length of the world’s largest Cathedral.
