Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, Roman Catholic cathedral in downtown Charleston, United States.
The Gothic Revival brownstone cathedral features tall spires, bronze crosses, marble arches, and intricate stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes throughout its structure.
Following the destruction of its predecessor in the 1861 Charleston fire, architect Patrick Keely rebuilt the cathedral, which opened its doors in 1907.
The cathedral contains fourteen narrative windows in the nave illustrating the Life of Christ, from Nativity to Ascension, with a five-light window above the altar.
The cathedral offers daily masses at 12:05 PM on weekdays, with multiple confession times and a Spanish mass service on Sunday evenings.
The cathedral's lower church includes a crypt where Bishop England and four other Charleston bishops rest beneath the main structure.
