The windows in this beautiful historic building were created by noted stained glass artist Charles J. Connick, who described his creation of the windows as an opportunity to "express his vision of spiritual beauty in lyric color."
The largest window in the Cathedral is the 26-foot-diamater East rose window, known as the Resurrection Window. The main window depicts the Lamb of God in the center of a cross. Surrounding the lamb are the 12 apostles and a motif of vines and branches, representing Christ and his followers.
There are many other stained glass windows here, but this one is the centerpiece for many of the 200,000 people who tour this building each year. Two other large windows grace the Cathedral: The American Jesuit Martyrs window, on the north side, commemorates the eight American martyrs while the south rose window is a pictorial display of the Beatitudes.
Many other beautiful windows can be found throughout the Cathedral, not only in the various side chapels but in the transcepts and entryways as well. These windows have depictions of Christ and various saints and past figures of Christian history. Among them are ones of St. Teresa of Avila, the Last Supper, Christ as the Good Shepherd, Pope Benedict XV, and St. Dismas (the "Good Thief" alongside Christ on the cross).
A few extra shots of the breathtaking interior of the building are included here as well, and a visit to this building is a must for anyone visiting St. Paul.
