This cathedral is poor and humble

as far as materials are concerned.

Its luxury lies in the pure faith with which it was elevated by its creator,

a man who lived, worked and died in it

in the most absolute austerity.

New paragraph

Farmer without studies, pioneer in the use of recycled materials.

He began building a cathedral on his own in 1961,

after being expelled from the Cistercian monastery of Santa María in Soria

for suffering from tuberculosis.

He dedicated his entire life to building this unique work, challenging

the established canons,

receiving sporadic help from volunteers who collaborated with him in his faith project.

He died at the age of 96.
