According to the information found inside the Jeondong Cathedral. the first pastor of the cathedral, a French, began the construction of this Romanesque-style building in 1908 and completed it in 1914. Romanesque-style is characterised by semi-circular arches. It is interesting to note that Jeondong Cathedral shares the same architect as Myeongdong Cathedral.
When I entered the cathedral building, the Jeonju City Choir was rehearsing for their upcoming performance - "Vox Amoris" (Latin words for the voice of love) or in Korean, "사랑의 울림". The reverberation of their beautiful singing had a rather calming effect on me. It was quite a nice late autumn afternoon.
