On our first day in Cairns (Monday, July 24, 2017), my wife and I went for a tour of Santa Monica Cathedral, enjoying a moment of inner peace and visiting the prestigious stained glass windows. On one side of the building, the windows are printed with the things God created the world in Genesis 12. The designs were created by artist Gerry Cummins and Jill Stern. Interestingly, the descriptions are intertwined with some of the native Australian flora and fauna. Behind the church is the peace window - there are also many local patterns. The lively and vivid sprinkling of the windows and the contemporary feel of the design are well worth a look.
