Fire-Damaged Cathedral Rededicated
Updated 10:34 AM EST, Wed, Jul 22, 2009
Almost seven years after a fire damaged two rare tapestries and destroyed a gift shop, the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine is fully open.
The cathedral, which can seat 6,000 people and sits on 13 acres, celebrated with a rededication ceremony on Sunday.
The fire in December 2001 also brought about heavy smoke and water damage. The thousands of pipes in the church organ had to each be cleaned.
