Catacombs to Cathedral.
In the old times in the Christians hide under the ground, in the catacombs, to profess their faith. Catacomb is a graveyard under the ground. Christians back then was being persecuted because of professing thir faith. The time come when Constantine, the emperor that time, signed The Ethics of Milan where he allowed the peoples to freely believe in the religion they want to believe in. After that Christians build many temple where they can praise God and they called it Cathedrals. Cathedrals now is the seat of the Bishops.
