It goes without saying that, in the eyes of the canons who designed the stained glass windows, nothing is as important as offering images of the mass, since the building is assigned to this use.

The importance of the sacraments, as recalled by the Lateran Council IV (1215), must also be considered.

Finally, the history of the saints, which is faithfully retranscribed in a large part of the stained glass windows, often honors various celebrations.

Here is a selection of liturgical objects, located in the windows of the lower floor and the northern rose.

You will be able to observe the diversity of the models existing in the 13th century and the interpretations made by the master stained glass artists, who were forced to schematize: the details that we propose don’t exceed the size of a few centimeters.
