Above the narthex is the choir gallery, which was built to hold one of the organs and the choir during sacred celebrations. The building is designed acoustically so that the sound travels from here throughout the whole Cathedral. On the back of the gallery is a huge stone carving embedded in a stained glass window, more than twenty feet tall: a mirror image of Christ the Risen King of the Universe that we saw on the outside facade.
