Gaudi's massive cathedral in Barcelona is an amazing monument to Christianity and perseverance. Work was begun on the cathedral in 1882 and it is still not completed; that is 130 years of construction! The Pope did consecrate it in 2010 so progress is being made. In the 12 years that we've been gone from Barcelona a lot of it has been finished. We can hardly wait to go back and see it someday. The boys have promised to travel with us to Barcelona when it is finished. They are assuming we'll be too old and decrepit to travel by ourselves by that time.
In celebration of Christmas, here is a part of the Nativity facade. You can find the choirs and musicians of angels, and just a glimpse of the three kings and the shepherds near the bottom of the photo. And of course Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus in the middle. I love this cathedral!
It only took Matt and Scott a day to finish their model of La Sagrada Familia.
