It doesn't look like an overglorified office building cafeteria. It doesn't look like a church was put in a parking lot with some white walls. This is a wonderfully beautiful interior. It's riotously colorful, but also graceful. It uses the enormous space to full effect, with those huge mosaics under the dome shimmering so brightly. The mosaics themselves are also so delicate-looking, and proportional. Love that there is this electric blue tinge underlying most of the mosaics and the space itself. Truly a sight to see!

There a lot of modern being building around the world today but nothing can compare with the stunning, marvellous and full of details from the churches architeture from Europe

There is no church that can beat St Peter's Basilica of Vatican .*** There are several very large churches in Italy. not mentioned in this video. *** With Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

[@dionyates2482]

Number 10 is known as Anglican Cathedral of Liverpool, close to the Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral. The architect is Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, not just 'Gilbert Scott'.

[@sandraleiva1633]

No one cares about made up titles like Sir. Other people aren't subject to British classicism.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Fun Fact - Giles Gilbert Scott was a Roman Catholic, and Fred Gibberd, who designed the Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral was an Anglican (and was good friends with Giles Gilbert Scott son!)

[@dionyates2482]

@@sandraleiva1633 Classism, you mean? Some DO care and they don't need your blessing. It can also indicate whether he was esteemed in his field. PS how much of our culture isn't 'made up'? That's the very meaning of culture.

[@deutschegeschichte4972]

@@dionyates2482 I agree with you, however she is simply making the point that people will understand just fine if they say their actual name instead of adding the Sir. Although thanks for the fun fact.

Interesting that you did not include the biggest brick church in the world that have a capacity for 25,000 people. St. Mary's Church in Gdańsk Poland.

Ulm cathedral might be the tallest protestant cathedral but it is in no other way the largest. That honor belongs to York Minster in England.

[@mikesaunders4775]

Until the late 19th century Salisbury (404ft) had the tallest spire, It was a decision of Kaiser Wilhelm the second to give Ulm its spire to wind up Queen Victoria.

[@michaelafrancis1361]

@SteveAaron-w9t Why thank you kind Sir. 🙂

Funny story about St John The Devine: They had peacocks on the church property and one day someone stole one of them. But the next day they bought it back because it was too loud.

[@reynosoperez2747]

The Basilica of St. Joseph in Montreal, Canada deserves a place here. It is one of the largest in the world, also, the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico.

I found myself waiting for Notre Dame. Not sure of its size, but felt it at least deserved an honourable mention.

[@lray1948]

One thing is evident. The more modern of these churches that try to imitate or mimic the classical architecture of the past do a woefully inadequate job of doing so.

A criminal oversight.

[@tonymercer7759]

These may be large and impressive buildings, but The Bible teaches that "the Church" is the body of people who believe in and worship Jesus Christ.

[@kathleenguloy7906]

Yes, and the Bible teaches us as well to reflect on how God wishes to be housed and honored.

[@alanhowe1455]

Yes, that's quite right.

[@tomtom2806]

Why is Cologne Cathedral missing in this list?

[@Thanos_Kyriakopoulos]

Aya Sofya isn't important for its size and decoration, but its architecture. It's the first building with a dome in history, and a model for practically every church and mosque since then. It's really underestimated even by Greeks for the sake of the Parthenon, which is actually not so hard to build.

[@andrejmarkovich7008]

Where is Saint Sava’s basilica in Belgrade?

[@akdamagecontrol]

What about the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah? It can hold over 21,000 people. An airliner could comfortably park inside.

[@patricksheehan8157]

The National Shrine in Washington DC should be on this list, it's certainly worthy and the tenth largest Catholic Church in the world.

[@thomasferrell4082]

@@PInk77W1 2000 year of teaching what,the word of GOD? Or the traditions of men? I'm not judging either because I know not what is teached in their Churches, but CHRIST died on the cross and when GOD Almighty ripped that veil from top to bottom to the room of the holy of holies that the priest went into on Passover, GOD said come on in to talk to me after the price was paid, the high priest was not needed anymore to talk to our real FATHER, and we DO NOT need to confess our sins to another priest/man/sinner, only to the highest of most high,GOD himself and we don't have other gods before us, the virgin Mary, she was an important woman, but NOT to be worshipped, so the Catholic church has been using the traditions of men that make void the word of GOD longer for 2000 years, 2000s years of not following the real word of GOD, I wouldn't brag too soon about the traditions of men that started 2000 before any other, and GOD told us to use olive oil for annointing and rebuking evil spirits and for healing, Exodus 30:25-26, not holy water, so you see theres more than 2000 years of not following the REAL word of GOD , and NOONE IS PERFECT, you are reading this from one who is and never had been perfect, but upon repentance from GOD through the precious son, we are forgiven, for there is not a flesh and blood priest, pastor, preacher,r reverend on the earth that can forgive anyone of their sins in consider the words of GOD, not man.
