Scripture readings and homilies are proclaimed from the Pulpit during the Mass. The Cathedral’s pulpit is a replica of one destroyed by an arsonist on October 7, 2003. Guenther Wood Group, Inc. located in Savannah, rebuilt the pulpit’s body and set in symbolic carvings which were completed in Ortesi, Italy. The carvings are based on a vision of Ezekiel, the old Testament prophet, in which he saw four creatures who would attest to the holiness of God. Christians believe the four creatures shown in the carvings represent the four Gospel writers.
