Culture in Burgundie: Difference between revisions

Religious architecture in [[Burgundie]], as it does in all places, reflects the core tenents of the religions adherents. [[Levantine Catholic Church]]es are large, grand, and gilded while [[[[Mercantile Reform Protestant]]t]] churches are typically smaller, austere, and plain. These design choices reflect the religious ceremonies they house. The Catholic church, especially the cathedral is a testament to the grandeur of the Catholic hierarchical system, its opulence is the homage it pays to the Almighty. These domed monoliths stand broad as they gather the whole of the flock within its columned and vacuous halls to take the sacraments. In contrast, the white clapboard church of the [[[[Mercantile Reform Protestant]]t]] is narrow and tall with its pointed steeple aspiring to God as it reaches towards the Heavens. Within its sanctuary are divided and simple pews for the chosen few to profess their faith. While a community may only have one Catholic church it will have scores, if not hundreds, of Protestant congregations.
