It's just amazing the sheer volume of relics that were lost.
One thing one of the radio broadcasters pointed out that not only the rose windows, but the other stained glass windows also each held a story, they illustrated different scenes from the bible, and they had also been there since the building was built in the 1100's.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Originally posted by Kepler View PostThis is why you should always spring for the most detailed tour when you visit these places. Find the oldest, craggiest guide. Every inch of a cathedral has its own history, much of it poignant; some of it downright hysterically funny and deeply sacrilegious. We took a tour of York Cathedral about 10 years ago and I still bring up HD 3D versions of the interior and trace it foot by foot and remember the stories. The artists and even moreso the craftsmen were working these contracts for a non-trivial portion of their lifespans. The work became their life. They are talking to each other in stone, making wry jokes, and competing as hard as a rap battle. It's beautiful to find the key and start to understand -- the craftsman is present every bit as much as a narrator in a novel.Never really developed a taste for tequila.
