Chartres Cathedral is one of the undisputed jewels of medieval Christianity. Throughout its distinguished 800 year history it has been witness to many miracles, while its steep Gothic spires, splendid statuary, and magnificent stained glass windows have lost none of their ability to inspire wonder, reverence, and awe in visiting pilgrims.
Author of more than a dozen books, Titus Burckhardt (1908-1984) was a leading member of the “Perennialist” or “Traditionalist” school of comparative religious thought and he was also an acknowledged expert on the sacred art of the East and West.
