Life of St Andrew stained glass window, Chartres
The apostle tells the wife of the proconsul to resurrect a child who has been killed by a snake, in the name of God. The parents are full of thanks. God sends beams of light from heaven on to the child. Section of the resurrection of a child, from the Life of St Andrew stained glass window, 1210-25, in the Apostles chapel in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. This window has been altered many times, significantly in 1872 but also previously. 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
