The placement of the giant columns are interspersed with the people gathered for mass. These soaring structures make the individuals feel small and add to the spirituality of the place.
The patterns of light on the ceiling, combined with the other stained glass windows throughout the entire building, create bright jewels that decorate the building. This creates a sense of connection with the outside and makes the building feel as if it is greater than its physical presence.
On the columns, what appear to be paintings encased in glass are strategically placed to catch the light coming from the windows. From the ground, these seem to form the leaves or perhaps seeds of the stone forest. Each is unique and seems to reflect the grand scale of the faith, telling stories and displaying symbolism.
