Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see [it] with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
And [there were] narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows [were] round about inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm trees.
And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, [were] after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof [were] before them.
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, [were] according to these measures: and [there were] windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, ceiled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows [were] covered;
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation [shall be] in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.

I used this app as my favorite bible app. It had multiple versions which made it simple to compare the versions. The whole app has become so annoying since the last update. After downloading the app, one must be downloaded to download each version again. It is disappointing
For many years, this app has been an inspiration for me. This app is my favorite. It is a must-read for every Christian, and all readers around the world. They should also include the message as well as the live bible version of the Bible. Many thanks
The app doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling the app and redownloading the app over and over. I've also downloaded different bible versions in the app, but it shows nothing. It only displays an error message that says "data is empty. Download Bible version now". This app is beautiful, but developers should fix this problem.
Nearly every single inch is covered in beautiful stained glass. In fact, there are 15 windows that are each about 50 feet high (15 meters)! It's amazing that such a soaring space made mostly of glass doesn't crumble to pieces, but that's where the pointed vaults come in, a hallmark of the Gothic architectural style. The meeting of the pointed arches at the ceiling create beautiful shapes and shadows, highlighted by a dark blue and gold-starred pattern that imitates the night sky.
Within these 15 stained glass windows are 1,113 separate scenes taken from the old and new testament. They tell the story of the Bible and how the holy relics that were once housed here made their way to Paris.
Now, remember, it was Easter Sunday when we visited. We had to wait for the Easter Mass to be concluded before we could enter to tour. And, there were not any guided tours inside that day due to the Holiday. So, I relied on this site to help me with the names of these works of art. For example, the window above is called the Johannes Klein Window and dates to 1884. You see, some windows are early and some were added later as the construction came to an end. Also, many were damaged during World War II, so some are still undergoing reconstruction. In the case of this window, the image shown on the church website differs slightly and stated that they hoped to have reconstruction complete by 2010. Well, I believe when we visited in 2014 that had been accomplished.
This is the Window of St. Paul, originally from 1864. It was totally destroyed during World War II and was reconstructed during 1992 to 1994. Notice how brilliant the color is on this compared to some of the older windows.
This is the last Window that I will be sharing with you and it is called the Life of Christ. It originally was from 1884 and was reconstructed in 2005. All but two panels of this window were destroyed during World War II. I love how I caught light reflecting through the panes on the wall in this image. I wish I could have taken more, because this is not even half of the beautiful windows in the Cathedral. It was crowded and there was so much to see that day.
Milan,
Thank you for your comment. You may also find this site helpful in documenting your photos. It is the Church site and has a great page that tells you about all of the windows and more of the artifacts in the Cathedral.
The Bible is the holy scripture of the Christian religion, purporting to tell the history of the Earth from its earliest creation to the spread of Christianity in the first century A.D. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament have undergone changes over the centuries, including the the publication of the King James Bible in 1611 and the addition of several books that were discovered later.
