Golden Rose Window, Church of the Gesu

Took this photo last night of the Rose Window at the Church of the Gesu on the campus of Marquette University in downtown Milwaukee. To say I’m stunned by its beauty would be an understatement.

Maybe I’ve just never seen the Rose Window lit from within before. It’s golden, which is completely different from its usual appearance. See the images below, screenshots from the church’s website.

Anyway, because I loved the way the window looked, illuminated from both inside and outside, I stopped to get a quick photo before heading on my way ❤
