We visited the chapel on a recent trip to West Point. To call this a chapel seems funny as it is…read moreone of the grandest churches I have ever been in, including in Europe. The architecture is absolutely magnificent, the scope of the interior is truly awe inspiring. The gothic exterior is so amazing and interesting as every where your eye lands is a new little angle or nook. We have not attended a service here yet but hopefully someday. Not to be missed, in the basement is the Orthodox Christian Church, we happen to be Greek Orthodox so we made a point to seek out this church. What is lacks in size it makes up for in spirit. It is reached by a marble spiral staircase and has vaulted ceilings in stone, a solid iron door and the icons one would expect. The views as you can imagine are second to none from the top of the chapel.

Upon entering Cadet Chapel, a sign reads, "Whoever you are that enters this Chapel, don't leave it…read morewithout one prayer to God for yourself, for those that minister, and for those who worship here". The imposing hilltop presence of Cadet Chapel, overlooking the campus of the United Stated Military Academy at West Point, NY, was completed in 1910. It replaced the Old Cadet Chapel built in 1836, which was deconstructed and moved to the U.S.M.A. cemetary where it remains, and is utilized today. This church was established as a protestant denomination place of worship for members of the Corp of Cadets. Cadet Chapel is of Gothic Revival architecture and houses the largest pipe organ in the world with 23,511 individual pipes. The interior soaring native granite arches, and the beautiful stained glass windows, are breath taking. The Academy motto "Duty , Honor, Country" is inscribed in the Great Sancuary window. U.S.M.A. graduating classes have also contributed to the additon of the stained glass windows. Upon entering, one can't help but be in awe of the Battle and national flags which hang high above the congregants in the nave of the church. For this reason, Cadet Chapel has been compared to St. George's Chapel, Windsor, England and to the Church of St. Louis at Les Invalides in Paris, France. Some of the flags hanging where carried in the Civil War, Spanish American War and the Phillipine Insurrection, to name a few. Services at Cadet Chapel are additionally open to the public with security passes and the faculty. To marry at Cadet Chapel either the bride or groom must be a graduate of the Academy.

If the horror movie hallways weren't enough of a prelude, the monk (or priest, not sure what they're called) was another tip off I was not I Kansas anymore. Plastic wrapped slab beds No blankets 1 towel Shared bathrooms Sounds through the pipes that sounded like someone trying to hacksaw their way out. You'd better be spiritual (read monastic) coming here because there's little else in terms of comfort. Will the retreat be worth it? At this point everyone is required to carry a stuffed animal....
