Inside the Sagrada Familia

The inside of the Basilica is actually less weird than we were expecting.

image

But the bar had been set pretty high.

image

It was mostly very tall.

image

With a ton of stained glass.

image

Which was very colourful.

image

And let in colourful light.

image

All of the stained glass work was supposed to be symbolic.

image

Matt thinks this one symbolizes a frog.

image

Maybe it’s suggesting that if you lick some frogs you will understand the rest.

image

The pillars and roof are supposed to symbolize palm trees.

image

These little button things are labelled so we don’t have to guess.

image

These thingies are not labelled. And even Matt doesn’t have a guess.

image

There is a whole in the ceiling and Jesus is parachuting in.

image

He has his knees bent, bracing for impact.

image

This is Joseph. He is blue.

image

This window is much more colourful.

image

This is an upside down model they used to design the church.
