What feelings do they prompt in those who work and worship there now? And how do these extraordinary buildings both shape and respond to the faith that is affirmed within them every day? In Britain, we\u2019re familiar with thousands of parish churches, all different and distinct but almost all variants of a single pattern. But across the world, there\u2019s an astonishing variety of buildings, ancient and modern, humble and grand, that are sacred to Christianity. These include Saint Catherine\u2019s monastery at the foot of Mt Sinai, San Vitale in Ravenna, the cathedrals of Durham and Chartres, St Peter\u2019s Basilica, and the beautiful chapel decorated by Henri Matisse in Vence, France. Presented by John McCarthy John Patrick McCarthy CBE is a British journalist, writer and broadcaster, and one of the hostages in the Lebanon hostage crisis. McCarthy was the United Kingdom's longest-held hostage in Lebanon, where he was a prisoner for more than five years.
