Great Rose Window

This stained-glass window is located above the front entrance of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the largest Gothic-style cathedral in the world.
The window is made from over 10,000 pieces of colored glass, making it the largest stained-glass window in the United States.
Hmmm… I think I’d like to learn how to make stained-glass windows.

The Pink Window

The only pink curtains in the building windows caught my eye. I’m thinking that it must be a little girl’s room. What do you think?

Stained Glass Window

The other day, I went into St. John the Divine. It’s one of my favorite religious structures. From top to bottom, it is massive in size. The cathedral is the length of two football stadiums and can comfortably fit the Statute of Liberty inside. No wonder it’s the largest cathedral in the world.
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that construction of the cathedral started in the 1800s but it is still not completed.
I’ve also mentioned in previous posts that one of my favorite services in the cathedral is the Blessing of the Animals, where all types of animals — from elephants, horses, camels, dogs, cats, birds, fish — are brought into the cathedral to be blessed. I love the sight.
Like many other churches and cathedrals, St. John has beautiful stained glass windows. Here’s one example.
Have a great Saturday, all.

Obama is everywhere. Here is one such place in the city — someone’s window.

Flowers in the Winter

Apartment window on the East Side.
I took this photo in December (2008) when I passed by in a car. I thought that the window and flowers compliment each other. I was surprised to still see flowers outside at that time of the year. Now that it’s January, I doubt that it’s still there.
Thank you, Amy for passing along this award to me some time ago.
And now, I’d like to pass this One Lovely blog Award to… YOU. Yes, you, dear reader. If you’re reading this post right now, I do mean you.
