Today we took a day trip to Canterbury and Battle. A few of us thought it would be really cool to all match so we wore our "I love London" shirts and stretch pants. We looked fabulous.
The first stop in Canterbury was Canterbury Cathedral. This was beautiful but honestly I have seen a lot of cathedrals over the last few weeks and they are all starting to blend together. There were a few interesting things about it though. There was a compass in the middle of the floor in the chapel. It was called the compass rose and it is the symbol of worldwide Anglican Communion. In the center of it is a Greek quote that translates to read “the truth will make you free.”
Also they had a candle burning in the middle of the floor which was a shrine to St. Thomas of Canterbury (the original shrine was destroyed by Henry VIII.
