Senior Moments

The organ of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Savannah. June 24, 2008.

When Betsy and I were planning our anniversary trip we did some internet research on our proposed destinations, especially Savannah since neither of us have ever been there before.  I knew about Fort Pulaski and I knew I wanted to visit the fort.  I knew that Savannah was a very historic and a very beautiful city, but that was about it.

One of the Savannah attractions mentioned in the AAA online tour book was the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.  “This cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals in the South, and features marble railings, floors and altar.  In addition there are murals, stained-glass windows, large carved-wood stations of the cross, and a solid white-oak 2,081 pipe organ.”

Both Betsy and I decided the Cathedral would be a good place to visit.  Our tour of Savannah took us past the Cathedral, so we got a good idea of how to get back.  After our tour we drove back to the Cathedral and went in.

The Cathedral was everything the tour book said it would be and more.  It was physically beautiful and spiritually inspiring.  We would highly recommend this attraction to anyone visiting Savannah.
