Secrets of Sacred Architecture

Secrets of Sacred Architecture
Narrated by LeVar Burton. Sacred buildings are the cornerstone of life for communities all across America, representing some of the greatest feats of innovative engineering and artistic design. Embedded in the architecture of these churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples is a secret language of sorts, that influences both the faithful inside, and the broader culture outside. Examples include hidden messages in stained-glass windows; the surprising reason for tall steeples; the influence Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein on gothic architecture, and the curious gargoyle on the Washington National Cathedral—that looks remarkably similar to Darth Vader.
