Though they are quite georgous, there are few stained glass windows in this cathedral. Most of the windows let in as much light as possible and the stained glass has a darkening effect. Traditionally the stained glass windows told Bible stories-most people were illiterate and the Bible was in Latin and for the clergy only-one of Martin Luther's objections.
Gaudi puts the stories on the outside of the cathedral and the simplicity of the inner cathedral leaves the spirit space to soar.
