Now during my visit to my family in Australia I finally got into the city, to my favorite place in Sydney -- St. Mary's Cathedral.
Solemn Sung Mass was beautiful with the men's and boys' choir and the organ and all the smells and bells of the Church.
After the service people may gather around and watch the organist play the organ voluntary.
I think yesterday it was Toccata in F by 17th century Dietrich Buxtehude.
There's just something about a Gothic (-style) cathedral!
It's something we lack in Jerusalem.
More photos of St. Mary's in the coming days (after I have been without Internet for the last five days, oi).
For more about the cathedral (from my previous visits) you can type "St. Mary's" in the little search box on top.

Hi Dina,
Beautiful photos of the church.

Welcome to Australia :)
I never thought I would enjoy church music but you are correct. The mass, as sung by the men's and boys' choir, is stunning.
Wish I could join you for one of the services! It's a beautiful church.
Really impressive
It is magnificent inside, Dina, and outside too!
I agree!
