Angels either side of a radiant chalice

 

 

 

Pierre Carron’s Millennium Windows at Orléans Cathedral stand as luminous meditations on creation, light, and faith renewed at the turn of the twenty-first century. Set within the soaring Gothic tracery of the cathedral, they bridge centuries of sacred art by merging medieval structure with a modern painter’s vision.

 

The stained glass windows in this section are all from the chancel and choir clerestory of Saint Gatien's Cathedral in Tours. They all date from the between 1250 and 1300 and are contemporary with the rebuilding of the chancel between 1236-1279. The windows in the apse are the earlier and date between 1250-1260, whilst those in the clerestory were installed in the last part of the 13th century.
