"Christ Church has had a complex and varied history as the cathedral church of Dublin, one of two Anglican cathedrals in the capital of a predominantly Catholic country and the church of the British administration in Ireland before 1922. An Irish cathedral within the English tradition, yet through much of its history it was essentially an English cathedral in a foreign land. With close musical links to cathedrals in England, to St Patrick's cathedral in Dublin, and to the city's wider political and cultural life, Christ Church has the longest documented music history of any Irish institution, providing a unique perspective on the history of music in Ireland."

"along with its long music history. the cathedral has one of the best choirs in ireland."-cj

"the viking museum."-cj

"stained windows"-cj

"i spent nearly an hourly looking at the intrinsic design."-cj

"a totally pointless display of a mummified cat and mouse
who got stuck in the church's organ"-cj

"the underground. where the cathedral's gold collection is kept."-cj

the soft whispers and silence of the church makes it a nice place to spend a peaceful afternoon.
