Rose Windows

We must shine with hope, stained glass windows that shape light into icons, glow like lanterns borne before a procession. Who can bear hope back into the world but us.
~Marge Piercy

    Gorgeous works of art...and so intricate (like the one in Speyer, Germany).

    So beautiful. That third photo of the exterior of the window in Galicia is just as beautiful and intricate as the inside!
