Toronto is a great city for walking, because every street may accidentally find many angles and views worth taking. St James's Church was accidentally discovered by me walking around the leisure court, taking a photo around it.

    North American Church (2)|Toronto's oldest church ⛪️ St. James' Church ◤ name ◢ St. James' Church CathedralChurchofSt.James◤ coordinates ◢ Toronto city center Churchstreet⏱◤ business hours ◢08:00-16:30◤ price ◢ free ◤ best play time ◢ spring and autumn weather is pleasant, but very short. The summer is sunny and the climate is hot and humid. The temperature in midsummer hovers between 15-28℃, and sometimes the temperature will rise to about 35 degrees. This time is best for traveling to Toronto. ◤ Recommended Reason ◢ Gothic Revival Building, 12-inch Big Bell ◤ Transportation ◢ Tram ◤ About St. James's Cathedral ◢ The architectural style of St. James's Cathedral belongs to the "Gothic Revival", which arose in England in the 1740s, Church buildings flourished around the world in the early 19th century. St. James's Cathedral is now part of Ontario's "historical protected building". ◤ Tour route ◢ St. James Church, Ontario Royal Museum, University of Toronto, Canada National TV Tower ◤ Tour experience ◢ Walking in the center of Toronto, you can see the light blue clock tower of St. James Church from a long distance. A father and daughter were resting in the small garden in front of the church, and moon and I were strolling around, and a flock of birds flew to their feet to feed like chickens. The birds never seemed to know how to be afraid of people, and when I took this camera to take pictures, it was just focusing on the moon sprinkled food. Entering St. James's Church, it is a tall and empty, relatively simple design. The walls are milky white, simple and generous, the columns and brick vaults on both sides of the hall are beautiful and solid, and the overall structure gives a harmonious form of beauty. The most impressive inside is the stained glass that is everywhere. The glass is painted with works reflecting biblical stories such as The Last Supper. When natural light is spilled through stained glass into the church, you can feel the thick feeling of the church walls and enjoy the beauty of the light and shadow of religion. When we visited, we happened to meet a priest holding a ceremony. In order not to disturb them, we just quietly admired it on the side. ◤ Notes ◢‼️ The north section of Church Street is a famous gay neighborhood in Toronto. This area is also known as the "Gay Village" in Toronto. The entire aura is completely different from the church area in the south. The lights are green and the flowers are displayed, and the rainbow flag (the gay flag) is floating everywhere. ‼️ St. Lawrence Market is also not far away! ‼️ Gay March Date: The end of June and early July are the largest gay parade in North America.

    St. James Church is also in downtown Toronto, a block from St. Lawrence Market. Listening to friends in Toronto, she met the church door for the first time. Churches are no bigger than famous churches in Europe, but they should be quite large in North America. It was empty and there was only one old man praying.

    St. James' Church (Cathedral Church of St James) belongs to the Church of the British National Church. It is the second tallest church in North America and the oldest church in Toronto. The Queen of England also worships here when she visits Toronto. The main cathedral was built in 1844 and opened to the public in 1853 after several reconstructions. It was the largest building in Toronto at the time and is now listed as a monument in Canada.

    The church gate opens with a slogan "welcome, please come in". Sunshine penetrates through stained glass, making the church more mysterious and lofty. Gothic spires lead people's thoughts upward.

    St. James Church is the Church of the Church of England. It has a history of more than 100 years. Even the Queen of England visits Toronto and will come to this church to worship. It is located near the market of St. Lawrence and can be arranged for sightseeing.
