The stained glass windows of this Cathedral were breathtaking. They cover a surface area of over 28,000 sq. ft. Over 150 windows illustrate biblical stories and daily life in the 13th century. During both World Wars the windows were dismantled piece by piece and removed for safety. This glorious collection of of stained glass windows is world-renowned. This one in the picture is the South Rose Window and illustrates the Apocalypse with Christ in Majesty - from 1225.
