The Notre Dame Cathedral has a wealth of beautiful stained glass. There are three rose windows, and the religious symbolism of Christianity is shown on each of the windows. The central medallion of the South Rose contains an image of the "Christ of revelation." Christ is shown in the middle of the medallion with a sword coming from his mouth and stars shining around the "wounds of his hands." St. Matthew, St. Jean (John), St. Luc (Luke), and St. Marc (Mark) are pictured around the image of Christ. Each of the stained glass works represents the story of an apostle or prophet in the Old Testament or New Testament. There are also windows dedicated to honor specific Frenchmen, as well as "wise virgin Saints and Martyrs."
