"LET US PRAY FOR PEACE FOR THE PEOPLE OF MYANMAR"

Teresa of RCIA15 emailed me these photos of the cathedral at her home town Yangon, Myanmar. An excerpt from Wikipedia regarding the cathedral :-

Saint Mary's Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral located in Botahtaung Township, Yangon, Myanmar. The cathedral's exterior consists of red bricks, spires and a belltower. It was designed by Dutch architect Jos Cuypers, son of Pierre Cuypers.

The cathedral is the largest in size in Myanmar. Construction began in 1895 and was completed 19 November 1899 under a land grant from the Government of India, whilst Lower Burma was a province of British India. During the 1930 Rangoon earthquake St. Mary's Cathedral suffered little damage and it withstood the Japanese invasion during World War II. However, the cathedral's stained glass windows were damaged during the Allied invasion of Rangoon.
