Description
Light is implied in this stained glass window; without bright light outside there wouldn't be such rich colors, story, and image for the viewer to admire in the work depicting the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the Monastery of Batalha.
The Monastery of the Battle, a Dominican convent in the municipality of Batalha, in the district of Leiria, in the Centro Region of Portugal. The Monastery is a stunningly ornate Gothic creation dating mostly to the reign of King Joao I. This king began building Batalha Monastery - the full name of which is Mosteiro Santa Maria da Vitória - in thanks to the Virgin Mary for victory at the battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. King Joao and his family would also be buried here. Successive kings such as Duarte and Manuel I continued to add to Batalha Monastery, making their mark on this important structure. Blending a rich history with impressive architecture such as its vast vaulted ceilings, Batalha Monastery is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and also features as one of our top 10 tourist attractions in Portugal.

Sublime gift is the gift of salvation, or so I keep hearing. You must be a woman of strong faith, my lady. If that is the case, you have a divine gift in your soul.
Nieves Nitta replied:
Thank you, Bijan, for such uplifting words. Salvation is a gift as is the faith I pray for. Skilled artists/artisans are inspired to depict their belief with art to be enjoyed, admired for ages, and captured to share, as with this stained-glass window work in Lisbon. Blessings!
