Sept 11 attacks stained onto glass in a Dutch cathedral

Hi all,
    I’m sure all of us remember that dreadful day when more than 2800 people were killed by the cruel acts of terrorism by demolishing the Twin Towers. Yes. September 9th.

    A cathedral in Netherlands has commissioned a new stained glass window which contains an image of the Twin Tower attacks. Reutuers reports that the window was blessed on Sunday by a Dutch Bishop.

The window, built up of about twenty different panes with representations of heaven and hell, has the WTC pane at the bottom showing “hell on earth”, its maker Marc Mulders said.

The pane shows an airplane about to crash in one of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

“It was an assignment by the church to make a stained glass window that was related to the spirit of this time,” Mulders 48, said on his Web site, adding that he sees the WTC attacks as an image that speaks vividly to all people.

The window in the Sint Jan cathedral in Den Bosch, a city in the south of the Netherlands, has attracted the attention of the world’s media press because of the Twin Tower image, pastor Geert Jan van Rossem said.

Van Rossem said he expected the window to cause reflection from those who saw it.

“Innocent civilians were killed, that is shocking and makes people think,” he said.

A small crowd applauded and praised the window’s bright colors when the bishop revealed the stained glass window.

    Let these artistic images leave behind a memory to remember… A memory to remind us how ghastly the world can get… A memory to remind us of the uglier sides of life… A memory to remind us, why world peace is essential…
