For my name day today (Feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle), I thought I’d give you a bonus photo: the high altar of Burgos Cathedral. Hard to get a good (i.e. non-blurry) shot, but this one is pretty close. Burgos Cathedral is monumental, with side chapels, sacristies, choirs, crypts, a cloister, and a museum.
