Sainte-Chapelle, letting in Gods Light

Noting much unusual from the outside...
but on the inside-all of the craftsmanship of the Middle Ages comes shining through!
More than a dozen windows of the most detailed stained glass that seem to hold up the ceiling, illuminated the  religious services kings of France.
Scenes from the Bible in full color.
Nine meters of colored glory.

The King of Kings looks down on the where the Kings of France worshiped.
Tens of thousands of these make up the windows
The King Louis IX ordered Sainte-Chapelle to be built in a record breaking six years of construction (Notre Dame took over a century) for his and God's everlasting glory.
