Description
One of my favorite chapels in the National Cathedral is this one - the Children's Chapel. Its a full sized cathedral scaled down for a 6 year old - a chapel that would make children feel comfortable (400-square-feet).
A small statue of a child Jesus greets visitors at the chapel’s entrance. Inside, the fan vaulting of the ceiling is deliberately lowered to give young worshipers a closer view. The reredos, baptismal font, altar, pint-sized chair and even the mini pipe organ are scaled to children’s size. The chapel’s stained glass windows tell the story of Samuel and David as young boys, and the gilt reredos behind the altar depicts the young Jesus confounding the elders in the Temple.
