La Sagrada Familia is known as one of the most iconic buildings in the world. It stands as both a testament to human creativity and faith which has captured the attention of people worldwide. But, what if I told you La Sagrada Familia is not just Antoni Gaudí’s, or a monumental church? It can also be yours. Each intricate detail of the church belongs to those who have contributed. And as a visitor, your purchase of a ticket becomes an integral part of its long-awaited completion.
The tour guide I had during this visit emphasized that La Sagrada Familia is known to be an iconic building for its telling of the life of Jesus, but that does not mean that this church should only be of sentimental meaning to anyone of a specific religion. It is a living, breathing symbol of our shared humanity. Once we purchase our tickets to La Sagrada Familia, it is a part of who we are. By purchasing a ticket to La Sagrada Familia we continue the vision of a space that brings people together, no matter where they come from or what they believe in.
If you ever happen to find yourself in Barcelona marveling at the stained-glass windows and sculptures of La Sagrada Familia, remember: La Sagrada Familia is the collective dream of us all. A wonder that you can call yours today, and for generations to come.
