The next opportunity was to visit York Minster on my way to see my mother in Yorkshire. York Minster is another cathedral but in Yorkshire style just calls itself a minster.
It cost to get in (an innovation brought in to enable a debt of £500,000 to be repaid). I think it is a good idea as it is now paying for the restoration of the Great East Window. There is a super exhibition there which explains the pictures in the stained glass windows - most of them are from the Book of Revelations. This mysterious book - the last book in the bible was written by St John the Divine and contains prophecies for the end times, which I believe are here now (2,000 years after they were given to John). After the tribulations - the seven seals, the seven trumpets and seven vials, the "war" is ended and John see a New Jerusalem coming down from the skies - " New Earth and a New heaven".
