It's called the "Lantern of God" because St. Stephen's Church in Metz has almost three times the window area of Chartres Cathedral. Many great artists have attempted to design it – for the 800th anniversary, it will be a woman for the first time.

Nice route, a little busy upstream and rather quiet downstream without difficulty 👍

Cathedral built in Jaumont stone, limestone from the Middle Jurassic, it celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2020. The entrance to it retains its round pillars with a more Romanesque character, remains of the 1st cathedral. Then we switch to Gothic art on the following bays. Note the cross doors of the cathedral and especially the stained glass windows by Chagall. It is one of the cathedrals with the largest glass surface, in particular the rose window, a western window dating from 1384.

This magnificent cathedral in Metz was dedicated to the patron saint of "Saint-ETIENNE". He was one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, according to the biblical accounts in the "New Testament", was also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th. As the Acts of the Apostles report: When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Chapter 7, Verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
