点评:St. Paul’s Cathedral is the most beautiful church I have ever seen. We hadn’t planned to go inside as it was closed upon our arrival but when we reached the main entrance, we found a queue for Evensong free of charge. We joined and were able to attend the service—an unplanned experience that became something truly special.
The beauty of the cathedral and the service itself brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend attending Evensong if you have the opportunity.
My only disappointment was that we couldn’t take home the service booklet as a keepsake. It would have been a meaningful reminder of our visit, and I would happily have purchased a copy if that had been an option.
St. Paul’s is a must-see when visiting London. I’m so glad we happened upon the service—it became one of the most moving experiences of our trip.

大教堂的壮丽景象以及晚祷仪式本身都令我感动得热泪盈眶。如果有机会的话,我强烈推荐大家去参加晚祷。唯一让我感到遗憾的是,我们没能把仪式手册带回家作为纪念品。那本手册本可以成为我们此行之有意义的纪念物;如果可以购买的话,我一定会毫不犹豫地买下一本。
游览伦敦时,圣保罗大教堂绝对值得一去。我们很幸运能赶上这场仪式——它成了我们旅途中最感人至深的体验之一。
