Westminster Abbey. Definitely one of the most beautiful and stunning buildings I have ever seen in my life. It was originally built as a Roman Catholic church and is now of the Church of England denomination. Therefore, it has always been a place of worship and that is shown through its architecture inside and outside. Nearly since its foundation, it has also been a place of royal events such as coronations, weddings, and also burials.

First encountering this building was amazing. At the time, I had an idea of the importance of the building, but being there I understood that this building is more than that to them. While yes it is a place of worship, it is also a source of much of their history. The building has stood there for almost all of England’s time and with that, it represents their culture and people. By the grace of God, I was able to attend a church service there and shamefully I will admit the monotone music nulled me to sleep at one point. However, experiencing the building and the way they worship left an impact on how I view their religion. It was truly a spectacular experience of awe from the handiwork and details of the architecture and stained glass to the new experiences that their service gave me.
