Car Rentals For Cheap and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels

A divine sight to behold, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels is a Catholic Cathedral Church located in the heart of Los Angeles. Known the world over for its unique architecture and design, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels is well worth a visit, regardless of your faith. Built as a replacement for the smaller Cathedral of Saint Vibiana, which had been badly damaged by earthquakes, the new cathedral is capable of seating nearly 3000 worshipers during special events and festivals. Beautiful both aesthetically and spiritually, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels is waiting to awe you and your friends during an upcoming Super Cheap vacation.

Staying from traditions

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels is quite unlike most Catholic cathedrals. One look at the exterior architecture and it's easy to see why. Built with architectural concrete in a color reminiscent of the sun-baked adobe walls of California Missions, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels spans nearly 5.6 acres and accommodates nearly 4 million Los Angeles Catholics. Designed to last for 500 years, the Cathedral boasts state-of-the-art earthquake protection as well as outstanding aesthetic detail. Customers of Super Cheap Car Rentals for Cheap will immediately notice features like the 50-foot concrete cross "lantern" that adorns the cathedral's front and the monumental set of bronze side doors. Customers of Super Cheap Car Rentals for Cheap will also notice the lack of stained glass. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels chose to use alabaster windows instead of glass, as they create a warm glow both in and outside the building.

Inspiration art on high

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels proudly showcases some of the finest examples of religious art in all of the nation. These beautiful creations include paintings, sculptures, crucifixes and even chairs. Things to look for within the Cathedral include the tapestries, the tabernacle, the altar and the altar angels. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels also boasts the 89th largest pipe organ in North American. Commissioned from the Bodson Pipe Organ Builders Ltd. Of Lake City, Iowa the organ has 104 ranks of pipes and is approximately 85 feet from the cathedral's floor.

Accommodating a multi-ethnic parish

When designing the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels, architect Jose Rafael Moneo faced a number of difficulties. The largest one was trying to figure out how to reflect the diversity of Los Angeles and its worshipers. Instead of following the traditional design schemes, Moneo decided to create a vibrant cathedral based on new 21st century values. The resulting structure features virtually no right angles. The result? A cathedral that is mysterious, stunning and majestic.
