One of the greatest glories of the Middle Ages was the advent of Gothic architecture. With high pointed arches and stained-glass windows that flooded cathedrals with ethereal light, this architectural style lifted the heart and mind upwards towards contemplation of God. Now, in an era that can truly be described as another Dark Ages, where truth is stifled and Christ is marginalized, a return to beautiful architecture that raises one’s eyes and soul to God is not just important, but also necessary.
