The Lord's Prayer, carved into the Reformation Wall -- Geneva, Switzerland

We went to Saint Paul's Cathedral (Cathedrale Ste. Pierre) where Protestant Reformation history  is honored.  John Calvin is especially remembered at this site.  The Chapel of the Maccabees that is inside the Cathedrale Ste. Pierre is beautifully restored, but as it was crowded with people I was unable to take any pictures.  The stain-glass windows were exceptionally beautiful.  I understand that the entire Chapel was restored to what it may have been originally, and if that is the case, it was (and is) a very beautiful room.
