Rose Windows at Saint Paul's Cathedral in St. Paul, Minnesota
The Resurrection Window is located in the choir loft the work of Charles J. Connick
The North Rose Window is the work of Charles J. Connick. Here are eight North American Martyrs surrounding Mary "Queen of Martyrs". John de Brebeuf, gabriel Lalemant, Rene goupil, Noel Chabanel, Charles Garnier, Anthony Daniel, Isaac Jogues, and Jean Lalande. They were French Jesuit Missionaries to Native Americans in Canada and New York State martyred in the 1640's.
The South Rose Window is located south in line with Selby Avenue, the work of Charles J. Connick. The theme is from the Beatitudes spoken by jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Christ in the center is surrounded by eight saints of the new world. Clockwise from upper right; Rose of Lima (suffering), Toribio of Mogrovejo (peacemaking), Kateri Tekawitha (purity of heart), Francis Solano (mercy), Francis Xavier Cabrini (hunger and thirst for justice), Peter Claver (mourning), Rose Philippine Duchesne (meekness), and Martin de Porres (poverty of spirit)

Wowza. Those are stunning!
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome photos...I love stained glass in churches...
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday at a gulld meeting at our church we had a talk on the chapel windows in our church, and they were all designed and crafted by Connick's company. Small world. These today are spectacular and I can appreciate how difficult they were to capture. You did a masterful job on these DL.

ReplyDeleteRose windows are not easy to capture. SUch a great photography job!
ReplyDeleteA derivative of mandalas.
Wow! These are wonderful (as are your shots of them). I especially like the first one!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this photo, Rob. As Virginia said, it's not easy to get a good shot of stained glass. I guess this photo is especially meaningful to me... it was actually my desire to create beautiful stained glass art that lead me to mosaic art, and then on to art tiles. I much preferred the tactile experience of clay, so that's the direction I took... But I still have dreams of working with colorful glass (and maybe someday I will). Thanks for sharing your beautiful works!
