Christ Church Cathedral

Today we went into Dublin to see an Evensong service at Christ Church Cathedral. The Cathedral was built almost 1000 years ago. It was beautiful, but unfortunately no pictures were allowed inside. I was extremely tempted to sneak a few! The service consisted of an ethereal choir singing prayers and such. Interspersed between were a few Scripture readings.

In the basement of the cathedral is a crypt and, currently, an exhibition of ancient Bibles.

Somehow, I was accidentally left in the crypt. I couldn't find anyone in my group for eight or so minutes, and so I asked the guard if he had seen any students walk out (especially one with distinctly red hair) and he said yes, they had left about ten minutes ago. Oh dear. Although I had every intention of staying in the crypt until they realized they had left me, I decided to ask the guard where the fish and chips place was where we were going to afterwards. Thankfully, it was just across the street, and I met them on the way out (they had come back to look for me.) Hmm. Crypt Alone...a horror sequel to Home Alone, perhaps?
