Life of St Julian the Hospitaller stained glass

Julian, at his wedding banquet, is now lord and head of the family. He turns to his wife, while a servant serves them and a musician plays the viola. The bread, wine, goblet and composition of the scene recall the sacraments of the last supper. Section of the wedding feast, 1215-25, from the Life of St Julian the Hospitaller window in the chapel of St Julian in the ambulatory of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. 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
