thanks, giving, and peacefulness

Beautiful. Looking up at steeple inside the small chapel at Thanks-giving Square, downtown Dallas, Texas

 

This small multi/all denominational chapel holds so much....

 

- Peacefulness -

One reviewer said she Google peaceful places, and this was one of the returns

 

- Record display of stained glass -

Largest display of horizontal stained glass in the world.

 

- Place for all to give thanks -

"Thanks-Giving Square is a great place to slow down, and appreciate the good things in your life. It's religious ambiguity is a deliberate attempt by the founders to avoid any one affiliation. The square is meant to be a place for anyone, regardless of belief, to come and take a moment to give thanks for the blessings of our lives. The chapel is small, but absolutely breathtaking when you step inside. You may leave a note in the bowl on the alter giving thanks, or take a moment to pray or meditate. The Thanks-Giving Foundation encourages you to lay on the floor, and look upwards. You will see a spiral of 73 stained-glass panels that make up the Glory Window. As the brochure explains, it is the largest display of horizontal stained glass in the world. The Foundation's web-site further describes that in the year 2000, the United Nations declared it the year of International Thanksgiving. The Glory Window appeared on the UN Stamp."
