Awe at La Sainte Chapelle

So this photo of Bastian was taken on Christmas Eve, 2011, in Paris at La Sainte Chapelle, an unbelievable Gothic gem, built during the thirteenth century by Louis IX, to house relics from Christ's passion.  The wall of light created by these enormous stained glass windows had everyone in our family in awe.  The stained glass windows are not just colorful - they tell the stories of the Old Testament, the life and passion of Christ, and the on-going stories of the Church, up to the time of Louis IX and the building of the chapel in Paris.  
 
We were thrilled for the privilege of being there.
