The Beauty of St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Wonders of Rockefeller Center

We'll step into St. Patrick's Cathedral and take in the magnificent architecture, the brilliant, soaring, gilt bronze 57 foot ciborium over the altar, and the magnificent stained glass windows. St. Patrick's is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Directly across Fifth Avenue from the Cathedral is Rockefeller Center. It comprises 19 buildings, the first 14 of which were built between 1930 and 1939. The center was built by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and provided a great economic boon to NYC during the great depression. Over 50,000 construction workers were employed in building the original art deco buildings of Rockefeller Center.
