Cathedral of St. John the Divine | NYC’s Gothic Giant ⛪✨

Rising over Morningside Heights, this unfinished Episcopal masterpiece blends medieval grandeur with modern audacity. Here’s why it’s more than a church—it’s a living art revolt: 🏰 Architectural Drama • Started in 1892 as Byzantine-Romanesque, morphed into Gothic Revival (chaotic king energy 👑). • 18ft bronze doors = Bible stories outside, floral beasts inside. Hot Take: The "forever under construction" vibe? Accidental art statement. 🎨 Art That Provokes ✝️ "Christa" Sculpture • Female Jesus = 1980s gender-bending firestorm. 💧 Peace Fountain (RIP water) • 40ft angel vs. Satan battle = dark but hopeful. Pro Tip: Spot Greg Wyatt’s hidden sculptures in the cloisters. 🌟 More Than Stone ✅ Daily communion + jazz vespers (yes, really). ✅ Free concerts under 200ft vaulted ceilings. ✅ Secret gardens = urban hermit escape. Q: Team Stained Glass or Team Sculpture Garden? #GothicNYC #HiddenArt #ArchitectureLovers
