Rose Windows  Rose windows are the apex of stained glass development. The stained glass windows contained sacred medieval imagery. The windows of Chartres are divided into three categories: 1) The lower windows recount life stories or stories taken from the Bible 2) The upper windows include figures of saints illustrated in monu-mental manner 3) The three large rose windows proclaim the glory of Christ and the Virgin.

 Column statues depict 19 of the 22 original Old Testament figures.  Christ is carved in the middle of the three royal portals

 Walking a labyrinth is a form of prayer and meditation that comes from a Christian tradition of the 12th and 13th centuries. Labyrinths are metaphors for the pilgrim’s spiritual journey.

 A piece of fabric believed to have been worn by the Virgin Mary as she gave birth to Jesus.  Because of this relic, Chartres became a major pilgrimage center.
