Ste Chapelle, Paris
For your weekend pleasure - more on light and architecture. Another favorite pairing, the greatest examples of stained glass in the world. Not cathedrals, but chapels. The Ste. Chapelle in Paris, completed 1248 and King's College Chapel at Cambridge, completed nearly three centuries later, in 1515. Both closely associated with royal patronage, Louis IX (St. Louis) in France, and Henry VI through Henry VIII in England. Both chapels are surrounded by walls of glass, more completely than in any cathedral. Glorious, spiritually profound, rooms of the light of the heavens, the Holy Spirit.

Waiting to go back to Paris so I can see Sainte Chapelle once more. The most beautiful building I had ever seen.
