A Cathedral and Psalm 59

Psalm 59 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;

for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.

⁷You are my strength, I sing praise to you;

you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.

Saint-Nicolas Russian Orthodox Cathedral

The most important orthodox cathedral outside Russia, this is a beautifully ornate building. It was built to serve the large Russian community that had settled in Nice.

When I travel I love taking photos of churches, large and small, ornate and simple. And I like to imagine what the people who worship there are like, their hopes, dreams, and challenges. I am glad my son let me share his photo.

I took the cover photo for this post. It is the Kawaiaha’o Church in Hawaii
