The Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame
contains one of the largest collections of late nineteenth-century
French stained glass outside of France. The French Gothic-inspired
church has forty-four large stained glass windows containing two
hundred and twenty scenes. Today, more than 100,000 visitors tour
the basilica each year to admire its architecture. This informative
guidebook tells the unique story of the windows: the improbable
creation of a glassworks by cloistered Carmelite nuns in LeMans,
France, and their stained glass that so perfectly illuminated the
late-nineteenth-century French Catholic spirituality of the
Congregation of Holy Cross. Stories in Light describes the windows
according to their location in the building, from the narthex at
the entrance to the Lady Chapel behind the altar. Full-color
photographs, accompanied by commentary on the historical and
theological importance of the glass and the iconography of the
saints, provide a detailed view of the scenes found in each window.
Stories in Light is an easy-to-read book written for all who visit
the basilica and for readers everywhere who want to know more about
the rich history and heritage of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart's
stained glass.
