  HISTORY
  
  
  The present St. Paul's Cathedral, which was built between 1675 and 1710, is the
  fifth cathedral to occupy the site, which was sacred (священный, святой) even
  before Christianity arrived.
  The first cathedral was built by the Saxons in wood in 604 AD. It burned down in
  675 and was rebuilt, again in wood, ten years later.
  In 962 it was destroyed by the Vikings and the "third" St Paul’s was built, this time in stone. Following a fire the church was rebuilt again by the Normans in 1087.
  The work took over two hundred years and a great deal was lost again in a fire in 1136.

  By1300 it was the third longest church in Europe and had one of Europe's tallest spires.
  In 1561 the spire was destroyed by lightning(молния) and it was not replaced.
  "Old St Paul's" was ruined in the Great Fire of London in 1666.

  On 2 July 1668 Christopher Wren was asked to prepare a plan for reconstructing the lost church. The first stone of the new cathedral was placed on 21 June 1675, and the last in 1708, when Wren himself was 76. However the first service (служба ) was held in 1697.

  THE ARCHITECT
  SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN
  (1632-1723)
  Sir Christopher Wren is the greatest English architect of his time. He designed 53 London churches, including St. Paul’s Cathedral. Among his works are the Greenwich Observatory and Greenwich Hospital, Hampton Court Palace and Kensington Palace, the Sheldonian Theater in Oxford and the Library in Trinity College in Cambridge.

  14 слайд

  Wren began to rebuild St. Paul’s in 1675 and completed it only in 1710. The cathedral had been built in 35 years under one architect and Wren was the first to be buried there with great ceremony when he died in 1723 at the age of 91. His grave (могила ) is very simple and covered by a marble stone. There is no monument on it, just an inscription (надпись) that says:”Reader, if you seek a monument, just look around”.
  Wren's Great Model
  Did you know?
  Christopher Wren suggested three plans, but only the third, known as the Warrant Design was given royal approval in 1675.

  THE CONSTRUCTION.
  Like most Christian churches, St. Paul's Cathedral is laid out (заложен) in the shape of a cross. The longer end of the main arm of the cross is called the nave (неф-центральная часть церкви) ; the two ends of the shorter arm are called the transepts (трансепт- поперечный неф).
  At the "top" of the cross is the choir (клирос, место хора) and the altar (алтарь).
  The crypt (склеп) is in a basement underneath the cathedral.
