They had seen pictures before arriving. But, when they walked in they were just awestruck. I love the history behind it so very much. And of course the artwork is absolutely epic!

Listening to t...Hi Michelle, such a beautiful post. Listening to the beautiful rendition of Hail Mary as I was reading gave me goosebumps. I love the stained glass windows of ND. I admit that appreciate all the beautiful statues but didn't know the stories they depicted. This is a beautiful tribute to Mary and a reminder of what it must have been like to travel far away to give birth. This reminded of my visit to the manger in Bethlehem about a year and a half ago. I'm not that religious but that visit was one of the most powerful experience I ever had. As I was reading your post it clicked on me that I should have made it my Christmas post. Well maybe for the Three Kings Day or for next Christmas. Have a a safe trip home and have a wonderful Christmas to you and your family.Marisol@TravelingSolemateshttp://www.travelingsolemates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-42030580926762118862013-12-20T22:47:12.128-06:002013-12-20T22:47:12.128-06:00Enjoyed your tour!

It blows my mind how they built cathedrals like this back then.

What a great post, Michele and smart to focus on a particular theme at Notre Dame and great timing of the post. Loved Notre Dame and my favorite is also all the stained glass windows. I think I was too overwhelmed when we last visited to even realize how prevalent she was inside. I think I need to go back for a closer look :) Merry Christmas to you and your family!
