...darkness was upon the face of the deep... and God said, Let there be light. This quotation from the book of Genesis inspired the design of the West Rose Window, entitled Creation Rose. An artistic celebration of light, conceived by Rowan LeCompte (b. 1925, America) and executed with Dieter Goldkuhle (b. 1938, Germany), Creation Rose contains over 10,500 pieces of glass. This divine inspiration invites us to contemplate the continuous unfolding of Creation. Washington National Cathedral, known formally as the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, was built as a "National House of Prayer for all People." It is a truly national church in which people of all faiths can come together to celebrate, contemplate and pray about the events that shape a nation. Chartered by Congress in 1893, the Gothic-style cathedral was completed in 1990. It is a timeless statement of faith.Price:
