Bottom pic - Linh with one of National Cathedral's famous "rosetta stained glass windows.
I guided Linh/Vinh through the cathedral's tower (with great views of DC), catacombs, many chapels, nave, etc!
I explained to Linh how Mary was a virgin who gave birth to God's "only son" but still was married to Mary. I also explained that God sent angels to tell the 3 wise men (kings) and 3 shepherds to follow the star to Bethlehem and see the world's"new born King and savior". This gave them an even better understanding of the meaning of Christmas AND Christianity!
They were amazed how much the cathedral looked like Notra Dam in Paris - and also amazed that the National Cathedral was larger than Notra Dam in Paris! Their overall reaction = Chu Chao!
