520 _aChartres Cathedral continues to attract thousands of pilgrims after over seven hundred years. Gordon Strachan, author of Jesus the Master Builder, believes it is because of a unique combination of the earth energies of the ancient site, the marriage of Christian and Islamic architecture, mysticism and the skills of medieval geometers and craftsmen. This synthesis has resulted in the creation of a sacred space which still has the power to affect us and help us tune into our divine potential. This is an inspiring and informative book for anyone interested in religious architecture.
