Walking Through a Historic Cloister

Advent lanterns are traditionally carried during early morning or evening church services during the winter season. Cloisters are covered walkways built along the inner courtyards of historical church buildings, offering shelter from cold winter weather.

Architectural History of Church Cloisters

Medieval stone cloisters were designed with open arches along one side to let in natural light while keeping visitors protected from rain and snow. These quiet stone passageways were historically used for peaceful walking, reflection, and accessing different parts of a cathedral complex.
