The Lone Man Building a Cathedral By Hand
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ค. 2016
- For 53 years, Justo Gallego has been building a cathedral by hand on the outskirts of Madrid almost entirely by himself. Gallego has no formal architecture or construction training, but that hasn't stopped him from toiling on this herculean task. At 90 years old, Gallego knows that he will not be able to finish the project in his lifetime. But he keeps at it anyway, day after day, driven by his faith.

"When I started, I was young"
He was 43 when he started. I've always doubted myself thinking it's too late to start something even at 21, I underestimate how much of our lives we may have left.
Got to do everything we can to take advantage of that time :)
he was 38 when he started
So true. It's never to late to find and build happiness in your life 🙏
21 is still a very young age.
He actually was 39
Justo died yesterday, November 28, 2021, at 96 years of age, and according to sources close to him, bedridden after months of ailments. Justo has donated the building that has 4,700 square meters, 35 meters high, a central floor of 50 meters, an underground crypt, two cloisters, a baptistery, 12 60-meter towers, 28 domes and more than 2,000 stained glass windows, to the Messengers of Peace organization, which has already set to work to carry out a plan in which the work can be concluded. R.I.P.
Was he at least laid to rest in his beloved building?

Heres a Transcribtion from
"Catholicism Wealth and $pendiing
"Sell the Vatican, Feed the world" goes the urban legend. Here are a couple considerations for those who share this attitude. To the statement "The Catholic church wastes billions of dollars on chairs and cathedrals when it could be feeding the poor," a good response is to show what the Church does with the money, and to compare it to other big businesses. REVENUE & SPENDING In the Catholic Church, USA Health Care 98.6 Colleges/ universities 48.8 Parishes/ dioceses* -11.0 Charities 4.7 $350 MILLION VATICAN ANNUAL REVENUES ROUGHLY EQUAL TO EXPENSES. ITS A CITY-STATE. Other 8.5 Total Annual Spending 2010 *includes schools $171.6 BILLION Comparable to General Electric in 2010 Walmart or Exxon Mobil make almost double in revenue. WEALTH GENERATION It is more important to ask how much wealth something generates than how much it costs. A $10 million church is worthwhile if it brings in $1 million annually for centuries. That saves more lives than selling it off. Big, beautiful, Catholic churches draw a lot more people than small ugly ones. GIVING TO THE POOR REQUIRES WEALTH.
EMPLOYMENT In the Catholic Church, USA Walmart... Catholic institutions employ over 1,000,000 people - comparable to only half the employment of Walmart (which took in over $400 billion in 2010)

God demanded that His "house" be one of extravagant beauty even when it was only a The Temple in Jerusalem was covered in gold and gems. 1 Kings 6 box or a tent in the desert. Dt. 15:10 2 Chron. 3 Exodus 25-26 Prov. 14:31 Mt. 23 Warn those who are rich in this present world not to think highly of themselves, not to repose their hopes in the riches that may fail us, but in the living God, who bestows on us so richly all that we enjoy. 18 Let them do good, enrich their lives with charitable deeds, always ready to give, and to share the common burden, 19 laying down a sure foundation for themselves in time to come, so as to have life which is true life within their grasp. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 KNOX "People can complain about the grandeur and beauty of Catholic worship, but at least these things are true: It's biblical to make beautiful churches. Catholicism supports more education, healthcare, and charities than practically any other entity on Earth. Catholic self-spending is minimal compared to that of the combined thousands of other Christian groups." Doug Beaumont Many of the great cathedrals of Europe were built with donations and labor from the poor, who wanted to build such monuments to God's goodness and sovereignty. The Vatican does not control enormous liquid wealth, and its annual operating budget has been compared to that of a large archdiocese such as that of Chicago. In spite of this, the Catholic Church is still one of the most giving institutions on earth, running and supporting countless charities, relief organizations, hospitals, and similar enterprises at great cost to the Church. |Catholic 'Answers Who complained that Mary Magdalene "wasted" an expensive jar of perfume anointing Jesus, and said it should have been sold for the poor? Mt 26:12 Mk 14:8 Jn. 12. "
For the full thing just search up "Catholic Wealth and Spending".
@@monarchblue4280 I'm a Catholic but I wonder how much will be fixed if money wasn't used in such useless projects.
@@cakeman7364 Making hospitals, schools and foundations for helping the poor and oppressed while maintaining it isn't what I would call useless projects but I think you were talking about churches, right?
Yes! Good politicians are those who do the right thing for the next generations even knowing they will be vilified by their contemporaries.
Fun fact: Justo is still alive, he's 95 and still building his Cathedral :)
Nice
@Healz really? Why?
@Healz Yes, too many problems, but it's still on!
@@J_46 do u have any knowledge of any petitions going out for this?
@@salty_wuterrmelon8655 actually the municipal council of Mejorada del Campo is trying to make it legal.
And for financing the project legally, Justo has accepted to use the informatic and social networks finally, with the project 'One man cathedral', created by one foreign visitor.
this man is so pure...i looked up his backstory and he went through a lot, including the brutal Spanish Civil War. He is currently dying with tuberculosis. He inherited the land from his parents and has started this project in 1961. This man starts working at 6 am and until 4 pm every single day except Sunday. A priest has described him as very devout as he attends mass every single Sunday. Some people view this cathedral as a tourist attraction, but other lil shits say it an eyesore because he does not have the blessing or the support of the Catholic Church. :( I frankly think ths man is very inspirational, especially since he has a terrible disease and he has built this cathedral with very little help. He's extremely selfless and it makes me so happy.
So he don't have any job, where he gets money?
It says in the Wikipedia that he either sells/rent parts of his inherited land, or receives donations from supporters and visitors.
There's no need for the approval from others as if they are god to know if they are Catholic or not. You yourself will know the connection between you and God and only he knows your true self
welp blyat he is def dead by 8 months later
alice lange I'm personally not religious but I respect how much this man is devoted to what he believes
This will become one of Spain's National Treasures
RIP Justo Gallego
has it been finished ?
@@bikeboyyt932No but a charity group is taking over to finish it.
Rest in peace, Justo. Your cathedral and dream will live on for years and years. Everyone will know that you were so close to end your magnificient buildind but finally you couldn' t see completed, sadly.
There is a man who will continue to build it for him, this man also helped Justo
@@cotilleotube640 his name's Ángel and during the last years he has worked for free helping Justo in his aim, I knew him the day I visited this famous cathedral. The question is what will happen to this huge building now that its protector isn't there anymore...

Don Justo sadly passed away on November 28th. Shortly before his death, he bequeathed his cathedral to the aid organization "Mensajeros de la Paz", which pledged to complete his life's work. Rest in peace Maestro!
November 28th the Feast Day of Saint Justo Gallego of Madrid, patron saint of manual laborers
After Justo's death, the religious NGO "Mensajeros de la paz" to whom Justo transferred the cathedral's ownership will finish his beloved project. A professional architectural studio is now in charge and after throughout testing they have confirmed the cathedral's structure is strong and safe for future works.
Amazing news, glad to hear this.
Great news! I thought the Spanish government plans to demolish it.
Looking at 2:08 I highly doubt that.
@@SWBGTOCyeah, well good thing no one asked you
@@SWBGTOCit looks like it is yet fully loaded. Plus, this man was doing it by himself for 50 years. He even stated to himself that the cathedral wouldn’t be finished in his lifetime.

But when you hear a single devout believer build it, it started to look like its heaven made
im a architecture graduate and he says he didnt study. shocked me. he learn it thro experience. and its amazing
@@TheeSilentObserverz he was a labourer so he will have experience in how these things work.
I wonder if he planned it from strat to finish or just wakes up one day and thinks a nice dome here would look good

Many people may think that he wasted 50 years of his life.
But he is building a legacy for himself. For generations after him to remember him.
Most people won't even have a tree planted as a reminder of their existence.
@@Antimony145 Most likely he will be especially if the cathedral is up and running.
Those same people probably work 9-5 jobs and drink until they sleep
This man set himself a goal; and he worked hard. It's disappointing that people STILL HAVE A NEGATIVE SAY at such an impressive feat. Such preposterousness
@@Antimony145 to be fair there are many saints from centuries ago that people celebrate
@@khalilfajloun3787 Who have negative say at it? Btw tho he did establish legacy that does not seem as his goal. Rather it seems to me like he was doing it out of gratitude and love for God and people, also as kind of celebration and simply for the cathedral to serve its purpose and connect people and God. The legacy he left does not seem to be aimed at himself as legacy for himself or reminder of his existence, it is HIS legacy for sure, the legacy put there by him, but it seems like its purpose is aimed for being there for God and people while posibly servng its purpose and inspiring hearts of people across generations if God would will it.
I don’t think anyone would say that about this man, I mean how could have anything negative to say?
I nearly cried watching this. What a beautiful display of wholesome devotion.
Really annoyed how the Catholic church hasn't done anything to support this man or his cause. The cathedral is being threatened to be destroyed by the government, yet the church hasn't given a single penny or blessing.
In fact rome can't do anything about it spain is a laïc contry..... so you see even if the want tonit would ben useless
It is done to the people around the cathedral to defend it
Why would anyone want to build a cathedral in Spain when churches and cathedrals are being sold, demolished or converted into mosques all over Europe?
@@rubicunduseratiudas1264 sad but true......
Why should they? Nobody should be in this "cathedral," it is a liability and could collapse at any minute
@@GoofyHD3 from this perspective, this huge building that was built by a casual average man that know nothing to architecture is pretty dangerous....
The man say : « I want them to bury me in the cathedral,» . He didn't say : « in my cathedral ». A humble man .
indeed
He said “this” cathedral in Spanish. Translation mishap.
Yeah he said in "this cathedral", but I think he meant that despite him building it almost entirely by himself (or entirely) he still doesn't refer to it as his, which *is* very selfless.
Nacho very good point
Well he did say he was gonna leave it to the lord
Rest in peace, Justo. You did not get to see your cathedral finished, but it will live on in our hearts through your dedication and determination on this project. R.I.P.

The Vatican could, at the very least, send their regards to the man. Maybe materials, recognition, some title or even a promise to complete the cathedral.
Damned man's a wonder
i saw a longer documentary about this man and his project. if i remember correctly the arch bishop of madrid said he will never aknwledge it as a legit cathedral. the church doesnt like people doing things on their own
The catholic church has gone to absolute shit. We have a communist heretic for a pope.
May the Vatican see this guy's project to fruition. To all non-Catholics, building a Cathedral has to be thoroughly coordinated before being built it has to be sanctioned and ofcourse non-repetitive if possible. Let us not post hate and throw spite against the religion of this man(and also mine) but instead hope and pray for the best for him and the project.
Andres, you forget the Vatican only takes.
The Vatican never gives.
Even during the Irish famine 1845-49 the Vatican sent £uck all.
Money flows in to the Vatican where they live like kings
but those paedophile protectors never hand any out.
ENOUGH! What a dickweed, the old guy worked for God and for his own ambitions.
Justo Gallego has since passed away in 2021. He requests to be buried in the cathedral but the crypt didn't meet sanitation rules. He is buried in Mejorada del Campo’s cemetery instead

And if you wish to prove me wrong , then feel free to post a video of what you have accomplished that was better than what this old man has done. Fuck it , can you at least show where you have accomplished something equal to his?
@@MrWARHAMMER68 Did you need to respond like this? Maybe he didn't mean it in a negative way... But even if he did, is it worth it ruining the peace and beauty this video has because of some random comment? I don't know, what do you think this man would say if he was in your position? :)
@@duarteribeiro1520 - I love that kind of man like the one in this vid. His kind is a precious resource. But do not be naive about it. His kind only exist because my kind would shed blood to protect him.
@@MrWARHAMMER68 who is your kind?
RIP
Rest in peace! we will miss you.
This is just beautiful. I hope when this dude dies they canonize him as a saint
Eikman Almond your profile pic tho
Fluffchillla AJPW it makes your hard doesn’t it
@@LatteD1Mandor1a Can you cannot
Eikman Almond your profile had me rolling on the floor and coughing up blood lol
Eikman Almond yes 😻
It’s sad to know he’s worked so hard, he’s so dedicated, and him knowing he will die anytime soon... is truly heartbreaking hopefully someone as dedicated as him can finish his dream
Your commebt is perfectly balanced.
These moments make me realize this life is just a joke
It's RAAAAAAAW!
Thank you for your inspirational speech mr Ramsay
Anyone else that read his comment in Ramsay's voice? 😁
The masculine urge to drop everything and go build a cathedral
Absolutely incredible that hes not a trained architect. I can barely think of ideas to build in minecraft.
RIP King
he still has a very youthful voice and personality, this shows a man who aged well.
His faith keeps him going, I suppose. You can still see youth in his eyes, and he’s still as active as a fifty year old is. I would bet he lives to at least 100.
Jason go pray to your allah
T-that's not what aging means
This man needs to be canonized. He will go to heaven, for sure. His cathedral must be finished and must be preserved for future generations.
Why would you shoot him out a cannon your so mean
What?
Christian Natania it’s a joke lmao
xD4N101x tf
Lol
Update for may 21 2021
THIS MAN IS STILL ALIVE AND STILL CONTINUING HIS BUILD
His legacy lives on, people are still working on his cathedral. R.I.P
when you use 1 villager in Age of Empires 2 to build a castle.
This made my day
haha brings back so many memories
😂😂
1 villager building a wonder
... or 1 villager to build whole city
The cathedral is absolutely beautiful. It’s amazing how much he can do all on his own. Absolutely beautiful!
@alguien algo wh-
He didn´t do it on his own, he did it with God!
thє_αlσσf_vєх ikr
And take note he doesn't study architecture
@@barcane9953 Fuck off! He did it alone.
OK, I'm Pagan, and I pray that if this cathedral isn't done by the time he dies that someone finishes it. That is a dedication that deserves to be remembered.
Update: he passed away yesterday
May he rest in peace
I’m not religious but this is a man of god
Thank you for that comment. I'm not religious but I know deep within my heart that this is a a man of God. Funny how purity of action can pierce any heart.
True
Burn in hell
@@samiam1059 The fuck are you saying
@@samiam1059 bruh... wtf
2020 Update: Dude is still building
Thx bto
That makes me feel good
I am your 100 th like
Great
aw thanks :)
RIP Justo . hope you cathedral someone finish it and bring it to light as a great monument as i can see
Hope this guy gets written down in the history books so our kids can learn about him in history class
I'm not religious... But I still think what he's doing is incredible!
The spanish government has to guard this once he is gone, absolutely
sadly they want it gone
@@jocoma23 how do you know?
Yes they have to guard it, so that nobody gets killed by a falling brick. Hopefully not for long though, as they will quickly demolish it.
@@sodalitia this guy has put his heart into it
@@canadianamericanpatriot2601 The person that you are commenting to doent know how much he poured his soul into it
Rest in peace and heaven Justo Gallego Martínez you were and always will be a great and inspiring man of god
R.I.P.
I'm agnostic, but I'd really love it if a thousand people went ti work there in order ti finish it within a year, so that he can see it finished.
From the looks of it a thousand people could finish it in less than a week
I'm agnostic too, but if they're going to try to get it finished, sign me up!
@@iakonasisler4808 Nah, when you are working with wet construction, you can't rush it. Maybe 100 people could finish it in 1 year with enough budget.
it depends on him. if he wants outside help or not.
Wtf does announcing what y'all are have to do with getting it done? It's a marvel what he's done that goes beyond religious beliefs. It's a good sentiment tho and hopefully he'll be able to see it before he passes.
If I go to spain one day IMMA VISIT THIS MAN’S MASTERPEICE!
He’s 93 btw!
Unoriginal
He's 93. At the time of this filming he was 72.
O.V ik ;-;
multiplayer master kid Gaming yeah.. sameee
multiplayer master kid Gaming I’m just proud of him lol
It makes me sad to hear that he couldn't be laid to rest in the cathedrals crypt as he wished for himself.
There is a problem with the translation. 1:53 he does not say: it is better that God take charge. He says: ¨sé que el Ángel se encargá de ello eh¨ which means: ¨I know that Angel will take responsibility for it¨. Angel is the name of the priest who was helping Justo to build the cathedral and he is the president of a nonprofit organization that owns the cathedral now after Justo passed away. Currently, they are working on finishing the cathedral with professional architects.
Him: Keeps building cathedral for over 50 years despite nobody believing in him.
Me: Gives up getting water because I'd need to get out of bed.
hey, it gets better 💚
I'm sure he is too lazy to get a midnight glass of water sometimes, too.
Believe in yourselves.
Same bro same
@awkward jesus wait wha-
Legend has it he won’t die until it’s built
This guy sacrificed more than half of his live to make his masterpiece
I can't even find motivation for studying and going to the gym more than once in week
This is amazing
It all has to do with faith
Its because he wants to build this cathedral, you dont want to study or go to the gym
barbarynpk 2 do you want a good future or not? If so you would want to work for it
@@bobsjepanzerkampfwagen4150 bruh thats not what i meant and you know it
RIP may one day he be buried in his cathedral crypt and the cathedral being used in his name.
This guy is playing Minecraft in real life
Honorary zoomer
He is creative mode
lol yes hahahaha
Could've used open to lan
@That One hardmode
When single individuals put their mind to it, they can build miraculous things............
Imagine the things humanity can accomplish if everyone are as patient and hard working as he is
BHuang92 when people put their hearts in Christ they can do anything.
BHuang92 cheezy but true!mm cheeze
BHuang92 he put his mis con God

D.E.P Justo, siempre serás historia de Mejorada y de los mejoreños, tus vecinos nunca te olvidaremos.
Rest in peace 🙏
Watching this after the Notre Dame burned gives me so much hope. Thank you!
Ninja should be in jail for burning Notre Dame
Denmaaru it wasn’t ninja
Blue Thunder r/woooooosh
It really is sad a mosque that was 900 years old a hundred years older than notes dam burned down in 2013 because of the Syria war and nobody cared but something that was a hundred years younger get burned down everybody cares
Arsalan Khan Well,the Notre-Dame cathedral Was Symbolic to france,it has survived many wars in the past and the fact it burned down because of an Accident is just schocking for the french population.
Im crying because he dosent see his family, he has no friends,he is poor, it took him 53 years with no help to build the Cathedral and i cry everytime watching this
He isn't poor. He has as much in riches as one can have. He has spirit, dedication, passion, a heart, and he is happy. Few of us can say the same thing.
Look up his full documentary (Mad man of the cathedral).
He has one bitch of a nephew.
Actually his relatives helped him install the frame for the dome roof.
How did he complete the steelwork? The upper dome is something that must have required immense precision, mathematical calculation, and tons of material - not to mention a very powerful will of the individual. I'm simply astounded.
