St Anne’s Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is unusual in serving two separate dioceses Connor and Down and Dromore, and is the focal point of the Cathedral Quarter in Northern Ireland’s capital city (

Built over a period of 80 years, the foundation stone to Belfast Cathedral was laid in 1899 and the nave was consecrated in 1904. The new Cathedral was built around the old Parish Church, which remained in use up until 27th December 1903, when the last service was held in it. The parish church, with the exception of the Sanctuary, which was incorporated in to the new Cathedral, was then demolished. In 1981 the North Transept was finished and in 2007 the addition of the Spire of Hope was made to the Cathedral.
It doesn't only happen to be a religious place, but entering St. Anne's Cathedral is like getting lost in a place that respects art and delivers it to the world through those different artists who have taken place in adding their touch to the building. From the artists of St. Anne's Cathedral, there is Esmond Burton who has sculpted the tympanum over the central archway of the west doors and who has work done in other places and parts as well around the world, there is also Morris Harding who Belfast Cathedral Commission was to become the major work of his career, there was also The Martin Sisters who were responsible for creating the mosaics in Belfast Cathedral, and there was also Sophia Rosamond Praeger who her work in Belfast Cathedral included the heads of the children above the front in the baptistery and the respond of justice which is at the east end of the north arcade, adjacent to the chancel arch, and shows Moses holding the tablets on which were engraved the Ten Commandments.
One could visit St. Anne's Cathedral in Belfast to worship God, which could happen in the ordinary ways while visiting the place and which could happen through the different events that are sometimes held there, and one could also visit the cathedral as some kind of touristic place that Belfast is well known with and which people tend to visit to get introduced to this cathedral on a more closer look.
Since this cathedral is considered the most famous in Belfast, Northern Ireland, then there must be something different about it or something that it could offer to the public. St. Anne's Cathedral is considered the only church in Northern Ireland to offer visitors and congregation members a pattern of daily sung services and it also serves musical education to choristers.
If you decided to come into this church as a tourist and not worshiper or pilgrim - just the same way we did to bring this video to you - you have to know that there are different mosaics, textiles, carvings, and many other historical artifacts found in the place which will catch your interest. There are cultural visits offered in the place from Monday to Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM and from 1 PM to 3 PM on Sundays, but since it is first and for all a place where people come to worship and pray, there is always a quiet area that is found there, opening its gates for private prayers from 8 AM to 6 PM on Monday to Saturday and from 8 AM to 4 PM on Sunday.
