Apostles stained glass window, Chartres cathedral, France

On the left, a group of men discuss the teachings of Jesus, who is preaching to his apostles in the scene to the left of this section. On the right, a modern panel shows a group of men leaving, who have decided not to follow Jesus. Section of Jesus preaching, from the Apostles window, 1212-25, in the axial chapel in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This window represents the birth of the Church, as the apostles are the first pillar of the church and therefore has the site with the most sunlight to illuminate the colours. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. Most of its windows date from 1205-40 although a few earlier 12th century examples are also intact. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Picture by Manuel Cohen
