Washington National Cathedral's architecture and event photos

The Washington National Cathedral's Gothic architecture, stained-glass windows, and its use for national memorials and state funerals generate extensive national and international photographic coverage. Notable events held there, and visible damage from the 2011 earthquake that was widely documented, have produced images and video clips that circulated broadly on news sites and social media. The cathedral's visual prominence and role in major civic ceremonies make it a recurring subject of viral posts about Washington's landmarks.
