St. Paul Anglican Cathedral

After the cooling ice-cream that actually left me freezing in the sun, I braved on to Walk No.1 – A Walk in the Park. Opposite the Federation Square stood the St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, of which I have never stepped inside despite my fourth trip here.

So this time, I walked in. The Chapel of the Ascension features a beautiful altar screen made of glass mosaics, portraying the ascension of the risen Jesus.

Prayer focus was dedicated in 1995 as a place to pray for people affect by HIV/AIDS, their friends and families. It is also used for other prayer needs.

Over at the Chapel of Unity, where Pope John Paul II prayed on his visit in 1986, I lit a candle and made some donations. Though this cathedral was going through restoration, it brought to me the calm and peace I have never felt in my life. Perhaps it’s this journey, or the things I have been through in this trip. I think this trip is certainly worth it as it has made me grown and see things in different perspectives. I hope everyone feels the same.
