Beautiful Grace Cathedral towers over California Street in Nob Hill.

# The Guide to  San Francisco's Grace Cathedral

Painstakingly built over the course of 37 years after the 1906 earthquake and fire, Grace is both a tourist landmark and a working cathedral known for its inclusivity.


Towering over San Francisco's [Nob Hill neighborhood](/neighborhoods/nob-hill "Nob Hill"), the iconic Grace Cathedral is hard to miss. Known as much for its "Gates of Paradise" as for its breathtaking stained glass windows, two labyrinths, Interfaith Memorial AIDS Chapel, and majestic Aeolian-Skinner organ, the cathedral is the third largest Episcopalian cathedral in the United States. Painstakingly built over the course of 37 years after the 1906 earthquake and fire, the poured-concrete Neo-Gothic cathedral is not only a beautiful tourist landmark and cultural event site, but is also cherished as a working cathedral known for its inclusivity. All are welcome.

## The History of Grace Cathedral

Grace Cathedral traces its roots to Grace Church, a small parish that was built during California's Gold Rush in 1849. The 1906 earthquake completely destroyed the original structure. The Crocker family, an influential family in San Francisco at that time, donated their Nob Hill land for the construction of the present structure. The building of Grace Cathedral began in 1927 but it was only in 1964 that the intricate structure, with all its gorgeous details, was fully completed. The landmark event was celebrated with a sermon by Martin Luther King Jr., which was attended by nearly 5,000 people.

## Highlights of Grace Cathedral

### Ghiberti Doors

The main entrance to the cathedral is guarded by the Ghiberti Doors, also called the "Gates of Paradise." They are a rare replica of the doors designed by famed Italian artist Lorenzo Ghiberti for the Florence Baptistry. Cast from bronze and covered with gold, the doors depict important biblical events.

### The Labyrinths and Yoga

Grace Cathedral has two labyrinths, one inside and one outside. The outdoor labyrinth is accessible 24/7. Trace the design of the labyrinths with your feet and get into a meditative state. Yoga practices at the cathedral, which take place on and around the indoor labyrinth in the middle of Grace's awe-inspiring, beautiful space They are held regularly on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. You may bring your own yoga mats, but those visiting from out of town may rent a yoga mat for a small fee.

### The Stained Glass, Murals, and the Architecture

Inspired by French Gothic architecture and such iconic structures as Notre Dame in Paris, Grace Cathedral has huge stained-glass windows and soaring arches. In addition, two walls lined with murals depict several important events in the history of San Francisco, such as the earthquake of 1906 and the drafting of U.N. charter in 1945. The stained-glass windows of the cathedral are decorated with portraits of both biblically significant personalities, such as Adam and Eve, and important people in world history, such as Albert Einstein and Robert Frost.

If you want to capture the beauty of this awe-inspiring and historic piece of artistry with your lens, mornings are the best time. The cathedral isn't too crowded and the sunlight is just right for some stunning shots of those stained-glass windows.
