St. Vitus Cathedral Window
While the “New Cathedral” (St. Louis Basilica Cathedral) still ranks at the top of my list, St. Vitus Cathedral is right up there with it. In Prague we had the privilege of seeing St. Vitus again, and I especially enjoyed my favorite windows. Unlike other old European cathedrals, this one completed only recently in 1929. As such, popular Czech artists at the time, including Art-Nouveau master Alfons Mucha, designed some of the windows. The tales told in these windows relate to local Czech traditions rather than Biblical truth, but they are a visual feast otherwise.
I uploaded a larger image of this window so you can see it up close if you click the picture here.
