Cathedrals

This category indexes all the articles and photo galleries of cathedrals available on Sacred Destinations so far. The word cathedral is often applied to any very large church, but technically it refers to the home church of a bishop. It is a functional rather than an architectural term and derives from the bishop's cathedra, or seat, that is located there. Our list of cathedrals includes Catholic, Orthodox and Episcopalian cathedrals that are true cathedrals (the seats of bishops) as well as some former cathedrals still commonly called by that name. See our Church Glossary for definitions of terms used to describe cathedral architecture.
