Gothic sculpture

                        
One of the most impressive styles of architecture is Gothic. We marvel when we see those tall spires, arched hallways, flying buttresses, the incorporated glass windows, and the intricate sculpture at the doors and other strategic places in the facade of the building. I have seen quite a few of them in England especially, and I love particularly the series of saints sculpted at the main entrance to the Gothic Cathedral. This particular photo was taken somewhere in England, most probably in London. It features a few prelates or saints, mostly of British descent, like St. Edward the Confessor, St. Thomas More, St. John Fisher,  St. Augustine of Canterbury and others. One can admire the craftsmanship in carving these elaborate statues, and the detail in their vestments and clothing. This is a feature that is found in many churches as the people enter through the main door, being welcomed by saints and prelates who have lived holy lives in the past centuries.
