Interior Access
The Cathedral took some time to build and plans changed over time. According to original plans, there was to have been an eastern Chapel, probably a Lady Chapel. This was never constructed. The Capitals crowning each of the pillars which run along the North and South sides of the Nave, represent different aspects of life and portray much of the life of Belfast and Northern Ireland.
Above the West Door, there is a fine tympanum depicting five angels traced on a gold background. One of them is playing the organ, the other a trumpet, the other a violin and two are kneeling – one is singing, while the fifth is praying.
The photograph above shows the interior of the newer transept in comparision to the older body of the church.
