Rose Window, West Transept

Andre and Paul Rault, Rennes, France

1951-1953

The three large Rose windows may be an original conception by the Raults. A sumptuous --and very French-- floral bouquet is interwoven with ribbons bearing the names of Mary's ancestors, including Solomon and David. These windows are a Rault variation of the Jesse Trees found in many European churches.
