A beautiful cathedral, damaged by the devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand will be replaced by a cardboard structure.

The 82-foot high building will be constructed with 104 tubes of cardboard. The structure will be a temporary replacement for the stone one which was ruined last year in an earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed much of the picturesque city.

The Rev. Craig Dixon, a church spokesman, said the temporary cathedral would seat 700 people.

While we have the Crystal Catherdral in Southern California, now we have the Cardboard Cathedral in New Zealand.
