CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE LIGHT PHOTOS

Above, the last of the 100-foot tall glu-laminated Douglas fir beams were lifted into place for the new Cathedral of Christ the Light during the week of July 9. This month, a veil of glass, comprised of over 1000 4.5-foot by 10-foot’ panels, will begin to be placed around this wooden vault. The building is located at the corner of Harrison Street and Grand Avenue, across from Oakland’s Lake Merritt.
