Cathedral

Each (Arch)diocese has a Cathedral - the principal church in that diocese.  It is named the Cathedral because it is the church that has the Bishop's Chair: "The Cathedra".  In Toronto this Chair is usually green, and has the coat of arms of the current Archbishop embroidered on it.  
On Saturday February 18th, the Chair was changed - from Green Upholstery to a new chair - with Red Upholstery - and the Coat of arms of Canada's newest Cardinal!

Today at the Cathedral, The people of God of the Archdiocese: including the priests, a number of Bishops from across Canada, and some dignitaries from the Provincial and Municipal Governments, gathered for a local celebration of the elevation of our Archbishop Thomas Collins to the Sacred College of Cardinals.
The Text of the Homily is here.
It was a great day of joy in the Archdiocese, and the large number of priests who were present offered opportunities to connect with many of my brother priests.

After the Luncheon - Deacon Robert and I returned to the Cathedral and I took the picture of the chair (above) and Deacon Robert Tested out one of the  "Chaplain To The Cardinal" chairs that the Deacon sits in!!!  Security was going to remove us but then Gabrielle told him it was just a priest and a deacon taking a picture of the new Cathedra!
