The Boyds Town Cathedral ….. 19026

admin • 5 years ago

Missed mass a time or two? Shame on you! Well, head on over to The Boyds Town Cathedral and go straight for the confessional! The massive stone structure was built in the early days by Wild Bear and his buddies. They were inspired by some French bears passin’ thru the area, who happened to build Gothic Cathedrals back in Paree! It’s got all the makins of the European originals-columns, flyin’ buttresses (hey, watch yer language!), steeples, stone walls, stained glass, and even Beargoyles and Putis (cupids, silly) carved in bas-relief. The masterpiece of the place is that large rose window in the front-took 20 glasscutters ten years to piece it together! Today, all the candles are lit and the incense burnin’ for the wedding of the season…Honey and Butch have finally tied the knot (youch!). They’re takin’ off in their convertible get-away car (on loan from the Mayor)…faster than the attendants can make it back down the aisle! At least the cameraman was outside to snap the shot and throw some rose petals. But Honey and Butch won’t get too far before they turn around…they forgot to sign their marriage license…and who would wanna miss Bingo night at the Cathedral? Little do folks know…there’s someone watchin’ the action unfold. It’s Boyds Town’s very own Hunchback, Quasi Bearto, who lives in the bell tower above the rectory. Just lift the steeple top to find Quasi sayin’ a few prayers for the lucky couple! ……. QUOTE: “I asked God for strength, that I might achieve I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey… I asked for health, that I might do greater things I was given infirmity, that I might do better things… I asked for riches, that I might be happy I was given poverty, that I might be wise… I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God… I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life I was given life that I might enjoy all things…
