Description
The Glory Window, which forms the 60-foot-high ceiling of the Chapel of Thanksgiving, is one of the largest horizontally mounted stained-glass pieces in the world. Designed by French artist Gabriel Loire, the window symbolizes the blessing of the Divine descending to earth as well as the ascent of human praise and gratitude to God.
Each day the Great Bells of Thanksgiving ring out the importance of gratitude in our lives. Cast by the Paccard Foundry in the French Alpine town of Annecy-le-Vieux, the bells collectively weigh 5,000 pounds. Shaped in the form of the American Liberty Bell, each has a different inscription from the Psalms at the base. These inscriptions give meaning to the three truths of gratitude: our Creator loves us, we love our Creator, we serve our Creator by singing. The bells strike the hour and peal at noon.
