Summary[edit]

Description
English: One of two of the "Lewis and Clark" stained glass clerestory windows in the south nave of the Washington National Cathedral.


  • "Clerestory" windows are high above the floor, and usually quite narrow. This window -- whose formal title is "Odyssey of the Spirit II" -- was designed by Anthony Mako and E. Crosby Willet, and fabricated in Willet's studio in 1973.
  • Originally, the cathedral building committee required that all stained glass in the cathedral be the modestly colored English-style stained glass. Lawrence Saint designed most of the stained glass windows for the chancel, choir, and side chapels. But in the 1950s, financial patron James Sheldon convinced the building committee to abandon that plan in favor of the more vibrant, light-filled style of the French and Spanish cathedrals. This is why the Washington National Cathedral has such vibrant, glowing windows instead of gloomy pastels that let in almost no light.
