So we were in Riga for the Sabbath day and, as has happened every week we have been here, it was an unusual day. First, because we traveled on two airplanes to get to Riga and second, because we did not attend our regular meetings. To compensate for that we decided to visit the beautiful cathedral across from our hotel. We had a beautiful view of it from our window so we went to see it close.
This is a bird’s eye view of the Cathedral I found on line.
It seemed irreverent to to take pictures inside but I found a few on line that give you a flavor of the cathedral’s beauty. Inside the dome is a gorgeous painting of the Savior – wish I could find a good picture of that. It is truly awe inspiring.

Watching the people inside (you can see one of the nuns at the center of the last picture) we felt their reverence and love of the Savior.
It was truly the next best thing to being in our Church meetings on the Sabbath day.
