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 humankinds 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. |
