Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Closeup of the contemplative angel at the head of the tomb of Bishop Alfred Harding in the Resurrection Chapel under the south transept on the crypt level of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Resurrection Chapel is in the Norman style. It was completed on June 15, 1925. The chapel began construction under Bishop Alfred Harding, the second Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C. But Harding died in 1923 -- just two years before the chapel was completed. Harding's family contributed a large sum of money to have the chapel completed, and asked that the chapel celebrate life rather than death. Hence, the chapel became known as the Resurrection Chapel.

Bishop Harding was the second Episcopal bishop of Washington, D.C. The sarcophagus W. Douglas Caroe, resident architect of Canterbury Cathedral in Great Britain, and sculpted by Nathaniel Hitch (a British sculptor). It was dedicated on April 30, 1929. The tomb contains the bodies of Harding, his wife, and their infant son.
