The Cathedral of St. John the Divine

So, I was on my way home the other day and went one subway stop too far so I had to walk, but I was glad I did, because on the way home I discovered this AWESOME cathedral!
So then I turned the corner to get a better look and discovered that it was only a side building to a much bigger cathedral
It’s called the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. Luckily I had my camera on me, and I was able to join all the Asian tourists in some picture-taking.
Also, I’m pretty sure that’s George Washington in the middle of this door:
In the back they had this really cool sculpture garden, the most awesome of which was this epic sculpture of St. John:
I’m pretty sure St. John is holding a giraffe. Don’t ask me why. Here’s a more epic picture:

Awesome building. Nice of them to put Washington on the front...seeing as he and his army got pretty much destroyed in New York and left the city to be taken by the British.
