Illuminating the Beauty of Gothic Cathedrals
In his latest documentary, Bishop Barron—creator of the groundbreaking CATHOLICISM and Pivotal Players film series—will take viewers through the French cathedrals of Amiens, Chartres, Notre-Dame, Reims, and Saint-Denis to explore the various elements of these medieval churches, clearly articulating the features that have captured the imagination for centuries.
Applying his dynamic grasp of history, theology, art, and Scripture, Bishop Barron will uncover architectural echoes of heaven on earth that continue to awaken our sustained longing for God.
