The New Cathedral

21 Jun

 

We went to The New Cathedral on a Sunday morning when the people of Cuenca would be there for mass.

The second largest cathedral in South America was abundant with parishioners. Pews were filled aisle to aisle. And unlike Catholic churches in other countries we have visited there were far more young than old.

Ecuadorean folk songs filled the towering barrel vault during mass as traditional hymns became lilting musical prayers.
