a few stained glass details from Budapest

in #hive-13224822 days ago

this post is my entry to Qurator photo quest: circles

the decoration inside Matthias church on the Buda side of Budapest is mind-boggling. it would take a large book to give a complete overview with a gigantic chapter on the fenestration and stained glass art alone. so i have decided to do the complete opposite and just present some details of a few of the windows.


some less prominent modern windows in the museum section of the church


The Lamb of God window. though this window is quite small it is nonetheless prominent as it is placed above the baptismal font near the entrance with no other windows near it. the wall around it must be very thick because it forms a spiral. the wall was very dark so i didn't get a good shot of the entire spiral and how gracefully it narrows down to the window.


of course not all the windows have to do with circles


at one time this was a Jesuit church so perhaps that is the reason there is a window dedicated to one of the order's founders, the famous missionary St Francis Xavier

Greetings @eolianpariah2 ,

A beautiful post...really lovely photography.

The Lamb is highly significant in Christianity.

Kind Regards, Bleujay

thanks so much. i didn't originally intend to tell much about the windows we didn't get a tour of the church so i didn't learn much about the history and significance of the many features. we focused mainly on the art and beauty. but since you mentioned the lamb i edited in some additional text about it
best wishes
