Work began in 1882 on the basilica Sagrada Familia in Barcelona Spain. Hopes are that it will be ready by 2026.

The exterior is awe inspiring, but I once saw a picture of the sanctuary and wasn't too impressed.

Ridiculous.
Logged
The gravest consequence of the New Rite is the dishonor of God. The iconostasis of silence has been dismantled. The Lord is called forth in a vulgar tongue, in words composed by His enemies. His Presence is ignored, His Person is demeaned. He is handled clumsily: if He falls, it does not matter. He is placed on unblessed tables, segregated from His friends. His garments have been reduced. He, The King of Kings in the state of Immolation, is placed in vulgar, primitive vessels. As the people stand or sit, and think that they are listening to a mere tale, He is crucified and dies before their eyes. He is raised above their heads: “Behold the Lamb of God!” they stand and stare. He is delivered over to them: He, Almighty God, their Creator and their Highest Good. He is placed in their unclean hands.

I saw a pic of Benedict XVI at the high altar and didn't like it too much. That part of the interior (nave) you posted is nice, but I like Baroque triumphalist and Gothic like the Saint Chappele more.

Gaudi!  Yes!  Everyone needs to watch the Teshigahara documentary!

My only reservation about the Basilica itself is that since the 1960s, Modernist influence has crept into the architecture of the newer sections.  A shame it will probably end up looking like a hodgepodge of different styles...

Just in time for the Three Days of Darkness.

My Bro & Sis 'n Law live in Barcelona and they tell me it 's an eyesore, they hate it.  I think it looks like a play-dough piece by Tim Burton.  Shrug

There's so much going on I have no idea where to look.  Bizarre.
