What is on your mind after learning about Gothic Cathedrals?

 After seeing and learning more about Gothic Cathedrals, I am in awe of these beautiful structures. In summer of 2018, I took a trip to Paris with my family and got to see Notre Dam in person before it unfortunately caught fire a year later.  The cathedral was so beautiful and had so many aspects that makes it so special. Every summer I travel to Germany and every year we travel to a different place in Europe, and now thinking back on it I've seen many famous Gothic Cathedrals like the St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna, the Milan Cathedral, the Seville Cathedral which passed the Hagia Sophia as largest Cathedral in the world, and many more. Gothic Cathedrals were a result of the Hagia Sophia and are very unique because they must contain stained glass windows, rose windows, a Bishops chair also must be placed in a Gothic Cathedral to honor the practices of the church, pointed arches and they must also house at least one relic. I found it very interesting that the cathedrals became not only places of worship but also meeting places for peasants and farmers for whom the church provided spiritual and charitable services in everyday life.
