Description
A rare example of a church crossing that is actually glass in the crossing. The classic Gothic design is a solid, ribbed crossing or a place for a raised cupola. In this case, the designer actually left out the solid infill in the ceiling and replaced it with an intricate pattern of stained glass. This gives a much more open feel to the vault.
Theme
The spirit of god is rational, uplifting and rich in detail
Emotional Sum or Sense-of-life
God is order and reason and light.
