A cathedral is the official church of a Bishop. The cathedral contains the Bishop's cathedra or throne. Usually very large, elaborately designed and richly ornamented, the cathedral stands as a symbol of the Christian God, illustrating the power and respect given by his followers. St. Paul's Cathedral in London England, Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal, Canada and the Cathedral in Beauvais France are examples of cathedral architecture. [SB] {>PA}
