"...darkness covered the face of the deep...and God said, 'Let there be light.'" These words from the first chapter of Genesis inspired the design of the West Rose Window in Washington National Cathedral, entitled Creation Rose.  An artistic celebration of light, conceived by Rowan LeCompte (b.1925, United States of America), and executed with Dieter Goldkuhle (b. 1938, Germany), Creation Rose contains over 10,500 pieces of glass.  This divine inspiration invites us to contemplate the continuous unfolding of Creation.

Washington National Cathedral, known formally as the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, was built as a "National House of Prayer for all People." It is a truly national church in which people of all faiths can come together to celebrate, contemplate and pray about the events that shape a nation. Chartered by Congress in 1893, the Gothic-style cathedral was completed in 1990. It is a timeless statement of faith.
