Support the Stained Glass Windows of Chartres Cathedral
The stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral are masterpieces of medieval art and spiritual expression, spanning nearly 2,600 square meters. They tell intricate stories of faith, history, and culture, captivating all who visit. However, in our screen-dominated world, these beautiful narratives are often overlooked, especially by younger generations.
The Project objective : “From the Ecrin to the Screen”
The International Centre of Stained Glass has launched the project “From the Ecrin to the Screen” with the following key objectives:
- Preserve and Protect: Create a comprehensive digital database that safeguards all information about the stained glass windows, ensuring their legacy for future generations.
- Educate and Engage: Develop free, accessible educational resources that explain the symbolism and stories behind each window, making them understandable for everyone, especially children.
- Enhance Visitor Experience: Use innovative digital tools to provide immersive experiences that allow visitors to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors of the windows in a new light.
- Promote Global Awareness: Foster a deeper appreciation for this cultural and religious heritage, inspiring people around the world to connect with the spiritual narratives these windows convey.
Your support is vital to achieving these goals. By contributing to our project, you will help preserve this extraordinary heritage and ensure that the stories within the stained glass windows continue to inspire and educate generations to come.
Join us in this noble mission. Your generosity will directly impact our ability to connect the past with the present, allowing the beauty of Chartres Cathedral to shine brightly in the hearts of people everywhere.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Together, we can keep the spirit of Chartres alive!
