A Blog from Westminster Cathedral
Welcome to Westminster Cathedral, London
Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales. This extraordinary house of God was opened in 1903, and its distinctive Byzantine architecture provides the visitor with what Sir John Betjeman called "a series of surprises".

I was wondering what happened to this eagle's relative - which used to form the ambo (lectern) in the main sanctuary? It was such a powerful symbol of the word of the Lord flying out to the listeners in the nave, and then beyond the 'west' doors to the world outside. Much grander than the present coloured falls!
