Cutters, Carvers and the Cathedral

For more than 100 years, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine has been under construction. Workers from all over the world have contributed their abilities & labor & time, decade after decade. And although the cathedral is still unfinished, services are held there, festivals are celebrated, & the helpless & homeless are fed, clothed, & befriended within its walls. This full-color book, for juvenile readers, follows the awesome process of building the stonework of the Cathedral — from the quarrying of the limestone hundreds of miles away, to the cutting of the 11 ton stone blocks, to the creation of the magnificent carvings to adorn it.
