Burgos cathedral, the ceilings








This is a Gothic cathedral and has many spires. Unlike renaissance cathedral which has domes that are heavily frescoed, Gothic spires has more of a patterned dome. The eyes are led heavenward which reminds of scriptures, in Psalms, where it said, 'I look to the hills from where my help comes, my help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth...' It also reminds us of Noah's ark where there was only one window and it was high in the structure and Noah and his family has to look upwards.
