Superchurch (Stephansdom, Vienna)

I suppose no trip to Europe is complete without a cathedral visit or two. This being my first trip to Europe, I’ve been really impressed by the church architecture. Admittedly, all I can compare these churches and cathedrals to are the modern, ‘user-friendly’ structures in North America which may someday (in the distant future) be visited as tourist sites also. They still need to collect more treasure to catch up to the Europeans, I think.  You can’t make it out in this picture, but the phrase, “Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord, …, Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Amen” is carved in Latin under this portrait.  The current exchange rates: 0.65EUR = 1.01224USD, 0.65EUR = 1.0016CAD (background portrait – maybe St. Stephan)
