More Cathedral

St. Gallen

This continues from last post, on our tour of the Cathedral. We looked at each Bible story on the confessionals.



We noted that each pew end, on both sides was unique and hand carved. 





We saw the contemporary baptismal font, that got its requisite octogonal-ness (eight being traditional and the Biblical number of re-generation) from the reflection of the dome ceiling above. 






And we did some minimal walking, to save sore feet….



…to get to dinner at the old post coach stop





Liver and Rösti



Not liver. Polenta and veal.



Fishes and taters



Waiting for tables



Note the date of the building, 1552



The Reformed church is on the opposite corner.
