On Friday, Alan took me to the first and only Catholic Cathedral built in South Korea. It was built in 1898 to the tune of all brick gothic style. I thought it was unimpressing but interesting none-the-less. Like many European Cathedrals I have seen, martyrs bones are buried under the alter in the Myeongdong Cathedral. A few interesting notes; first, there is a picture of Pope John Paul II is posted in the sanctuary for his visit in the 80's, second, an eerily asianesque looking Jesus statue welcomes you into the front court yard.
