Ely Cathedral
Manage episode 376323672 series 3498836
Ely Cathedral is located in England's East Anglia and began as an abbey in the 7th Century before the Cathedral was built in the 11th Century. Throughout its history, Ely Cathedral has seen turmoil and destruction but has always remained a site of spiritual devotion and today is home to a welcoming and vibrant community.
My guide for the podcast was Rebecca Mundy and in the episode we spoke about the story of Etheldreda, the founder and first abbess of Ely, the magnificent structure of the Cathedral including its famous Lantern, the destruction that occurred in the Cathedral during the English Reformation, and how the modern-day community operates with its commitment to worship and public outreach.
