WelCom April 2020:
Resurrection and reconciliation – the magnificent Risen Christ and stunning blue stained-glass panels in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Chapel in Berlin. The original Romanesque-style church was bombed in an air raid in 1943. Due to public pressure, the scorched spire of the old church has been left untouched and now sits alongside a modern octagonal chapel and tower, made of concrete, steel and glass. The beautiful resurrection chapel was inspired by the stunning blue windows of Chartres Cathedral. Photo: Mike Fitzsimons
