15. Stained Glass Windows

The abstract stained glass windows, created in Milan, were designed to create an atmosphere of prayer and reflection, while making maximum use of light. Like every piece of art in the Cathedral, they tell a story -of humankind’s movement from darkness into light, from sin into salvation. Dark blues and reds dominate the western windows, with the colors gradually progressing to the whites and golds seen behind the altar and the Resurrection Crucifix.
