Christ Church Cathedral
Religious Sites, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
The oldest church in Vancouver was built between 1889 and 1895. Constructed in the Gothic style, this Anglican church looks like the parish church of an English village from the outside, though underneath its sandstone-clad exterior it's made of Douglas fir from what is now south Vancouver. The 32 stained-glass windows depict Old and New Testament scenes, often set against Vancouver landmarks (St. Nicholas presiding over the Lions Gate Bridge, for example). The building's excellent acoustics enhance the choral evensong and carols frequently sung here. Gregorian chants are performed every Sunday evening at 9:30. There's also a labyrinth to enjoy and special-event walks are usually scheduled around seasonal equinoxes.
