Beautiful stained glass

This beautiful window is part of the Cathedral  Basilica in the central old city of St. Augustine.

The Basilica de St. Augustine, the Catholic Cathedral, is the oldest congregation of any denomination in the United States. It dates from 8th September 1565. The Cathedral was dedicated on 8th December 1797, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. A fire gutted the cathedral in 1887. It was restored by the New York City architect James Renwick, who added the Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower. The church is 41 feet wide and 124 feet long, with walls 24 feet high to accommodate 500 people.
In 1976, it was designated a basilica by papal proclamation due to its historical significance.
