    Carlisle Cathedral was founded as an Augustinian priory in 1122 and became a cathedral in 1133. Whilst Carlisle is the second smallest of England's ancient cathedrals, it is not short on attractions. With old stone carvings, medieval choir stalls, and some beautiful stained glass windows, there is lots to take in whilst exploring this atmospheric place.

      Well worth visiting Carlisle Cathedral. Beautiful staines glass windows and blue ceiling tiles and impressive wood and stone work.

        The bishop's church (cathedral) in Carlisle was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, but rather the ONE God in THREE persons - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God's Holy Spirit - was chosen as its patron saint. Father Reinhard Körner writes about the mystery of the Holy Trinity:
        "Among the great prayer-givers in the history of Christianity... I found prayer texts in which each of the divine three was explicitly addressed - in the same prayer. When I tried to recite the texts, I could sense that these people had not only had God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in mind individually - they were addressing a divine community. And it seemed to me that they could only do this in their written prayers because they did so otherwise, quietly in their hearts."
