When I first saw Stockholm Cathedral it was closed to tourists. A church service was in progress, and it makes sense they wouldn’t want people wandering through. I thought about joining in worship, but it seemed rude to be late.

So I headed off in the direction of the Royal Palace. By the time I returned to the Cathedral, a couple of hours later, I was tight for time. That’s perhaps the major drawback in trying to cram in some sightseeing between business meetings.

So there wasn’t time to sit and ponder, to think about the generations of Christians who have worshipped here, to consider the role of the church in state and society.

There was just enough time to snap a few pictures to share with you today. ‎
