Description:
The first Anglican church to be built in Calgary, this structure was constructed of local sandstone in 1905. Named a Registered Heritage Site in 1974, the cathedral has lovely architecture that might be considered Victorian or neo-Gothic. Its stained glass windows are some of the city's oldest and follow the medieval belief that sacred artwork should educate and instruct believers with its symbolism. Other notable features of the sanctuary include its brass lectern in the shape of an eagle and the plaques in the nave that remember early soldiers and citizens.
