More images available

[edit]

Just in case anyone requires more images from the cathedral windows or internal figures, e.g. Apostles, or St. Rombout. Just let me know. JKW (talk) 17:28, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Black Madonna

[edit]

Does anyone know why the Black Madonna is depicted as a white Madonna in the cathedral window? Black glass availability restriction, color contrast, artist interpretation, any other reason? JKW (talk) 17:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Highest Spires Mention

[edit]

I noticed on List of highest church naves that there is apparently no source listed on a page that references this article. It was 'dutch churches' or simply the dutch page that mentioned the height without a source. I don't know what's going on, but I grabbed a source that might work just in case we still need one - European-Traveler.com ToxicReap (talk) 13:22, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify, please

[edit]

…the very heavy St. Rumbold's tower was built on what had once been wetlands, though with foundations only three metres deep its site appears to have been well-chosen.

Point not clear.


Pope John Paul II celebrated a Mass at St. Rumbold's. Jo Haazen, then the City's carillon player, heard him state: "Your tower is not complete."
