The Crystal Cathedral (now Christ Cathedral)

The Crystal Cathedral, now called Christ Cathedral, is a stunning example of modern religious architecture located in Garden Grove, California. Originally built as a Christian church for the Evangelical Episcopal Church, it features a striking design with extensive glass walls and soaring ceilings that resemble a crystal or prism. The building is large enough to host thousands of worshippers and is renowned for its natural light and spacious interior. In 2011, the Diocese of Orange purchased it, and it now serves as the Catholic Cathedral for the Diocese, functioning as a place of worship, community events, and cultural activities.
