The Holy Family III: the holy parts of the sacred building

How does the Holy Family look like inwards? We have always been used to seeing the famous building from the outside, but only a few have seen it inside as visitors.

Overall there are until five parts that take part of the Holy Family: the crossing, the apse, the crypt, the Gaudi's tomb and the Nativity Façade. First of all the crossing represents the main shape of the Holy Family. As a consequence of its religious purpose it has the shape of a cross, which covers the ground floor of the whole building. The vertical corridor leads up to the apse.

Secondly there is the apse. The apse means the crown of the crossing, and it is like the stage of the Holy Family. Subsequently, the crypt and the Gaudi's tomb are located downstairs. The crypt is like another place where ceremonies can be held as well. The Gaudi's tomb, then again, is practically at the very same place. There visitors can render tribute to the well-known architect.

Last but not least, the Nativity façade artistic representation of the Jesuschrist birth on the whole. This can be found on the right side of the building. Despite that, the Holy Family is expected to include additional parts, even though it has not been finished yet. That could be for instance the future completion of the 18 towersthat will lead the Holy Family on the top of the famous building.
