No period of human history emphasizes Christianity more than the Middle Ages. Entire societies poured money and time into their interpretation of serving God- building a home worthy of God's presence.
Notre Dame (Our Lady) Catholic Cathedral in Paris, France is one such place. Devout medieval Christians took over two hundred years to build this wonder of the world.
Take a virtual tour of Our Lady of Paris, a church larger than a football field and as tall as a modest skyscraper. Describe three images you see on the website that reflect the Christian beliefs of those who built the cathedral. Also, what does the architecture say to you about the power of God according to medieval Christians?
