Imagine standing in a cathedral that has seen the passage of 1400 years, watching the sun cast intricate patterns across the vividly colored stained glass. You are in York Minster, the mother church for the Diocese of York, containing within its walls the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. This incredible East window depicts the Last Judgment, awe-inspiring in its detail and size. It is often referred to as the 'living shrine', a fitting description for this monumental work of art.
