St.
Paul's Cathedral
This
cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, is the 5th to be built
on top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point of the City of London. It
survived the Blitz despite bombs dropped on it on 3 occasions.
Paul, a zealous Jew, persecuted early followers of Jesus until his
own “resurrection” experience. He was equally fervid about
his newfound belief. His missionary efforts earned him the title “founder”
of the Christian religion. |
