Magical

Growing up near the Cathedral, and participating in some of it's ceremonies, I can say that not only is the Cathedral itself magnificent, but the grounds are just as magical. It is a sanctuary in the middle of an urban jungle. With it supporting buildings just as architectually detailed and the peacocks walking around the grounds, it truely is an oasis.

This is a special event held every year. We stumbled on a notice of it during a bus tour and came back. Very spiritual and very moving.
