A Rose Window is a circular stained glass window commonly found in Gothic architecture, particularly in cathedrals and churches. These windows are often intricately designed with vibrant colors and elaborate patterns, symbolizing the divine light of God. The circular shape represents eternity, while the various sections of glass can depict biblical stories or saints. Typically located at the western end of a church, the Rose Window serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose, allowing natural light to illuminate the interior. Famous examples include the Rose Window at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and the Chartres Cathedral in France.
