#137

Received: March 21st, 2014
From: Jeanette (New York City, USA)
Depicts: West front of the Cathedral Church of Saint John, the Divine (New York City, USA)

This was the last of the five postcards my dear Jeanette sent me about a cathedral church that's near her apartment in New York City. This is one of her favorite places in NYC and it's about 5 minutes away from her home, walking. She advised me to go see it if I ever go to NYC and I hope I do!
The West Front of the Cathedral contains the tracery for the Great Rose Window, which is 40 feet in diameter. The Cross on top of the Central Portal (over the Bronze Doors) is 14 feet high and is cut from a single piece of granite.


Postcard stamp:
None, since it came in an envelope.
