This Ones For Harry, York Minster Creation

It was called Lantern tower up a winding staircase you go to reach the highest spot when it came to erecting the York Minster Cathedral I believe they gave it all of they got Northern Europe's largest consecrated Medieval Gothic space, York Minster was a vision surpassed only by Chartres Loire region of France but for Harry, there is only one creation This sacred devotional Kingdom was completed in 1472, with eight pressed leaves of quire 275 steps to the top of a central tower, a Godly place built for soulful prayer sure to inspire Then one day a lightening bolt hit the church and set it on fire destroying this Sacred place this beautiful gathering place built in memory of St. Peter was destroyed as fire laced... St Peter was known as protector of fishermen, and "Christ" was one of them who knew, He is named the Saint of “keys of heaven,” and so he's also patron Saint of locksmiths too so when I heard that this beautiful establishment had lost its roof, it was a sad reflection though it was rebuilt using traditional materials from experts in Medieval reconstruction Like Notre Dame the minster has a famous Rose Window - a stained glass masterpiece which looks over the center of York, it is now a beautiful place with a bran new lease The Minster has been at the center of Christianity in the north of England for centuries so the fire of 84 is now just a memory, we can again return there with ease Authors Note: Faith, the one thing in life that can't be robbed or taken. Wear religion round your belt and spirituality like a gown of light. Let it spread to all those who need it most. Share the love, give it to the weary so they can have a place to dock.
