A Cathedral Crusade - Part II

[sherlock7]

" The faithful harnessed to carts laden with stones, timbers, corn and whatever else that might be needed for building a cathedral, whose towers would reach for the skies like hands created by magic, were seen in Chartres. It was in that very year, and it was happening not only here, but almost everywhere in France, and Normandy, and other parts".

One of the biggest cathedrals built in the modern times was finished in just 4 years IIRC.
These built long time were taking up to 150 years ...

S- Looks like a good one. Thanx

3-4 centuries is more of a case "drop/restart" ;-).

You're welcome. Have people from Montreal contacted you yet?

[sherlock7_r]

Exactly. And that was a very typical mode of the medieval "spiritual construction industry"

Nope at all :-)

It means that they either can't or not ready yet. If they can't and I'll be available, I'll prepare a little guide about must see places.

Thanx. Looking forward to reading it.

It looks like their appearance have rescued me from the need to do it ;-))).
