| For over 1,000 years pilgrims have been fIocking to Chartres. lt is not the city which attracts them, but the CathedraI of Notre Dame. Then as now it fascinates peopIe, aIbeit for different reasons. When it was buiIt people saw it as a hoIy pIace, a place which promised blessing, hope and reIief from the trials and tribulations of Iife. At that time the faithful understood its message immediately, for them the cathedral was a picture book. For people in the 20th century it is an over-dimensionaI edifice of stone, a closed book. They have to learn to decipher laboriousIy, Ietter by letter, what it has to say. The vibrant pictorial Ianguage and the fascinating architecture of this church recreate a vivid portrait of an age which was named the Dark MiddIe Ages because, for such a Iong time, very few peopIe had any knowledge or understanding of it. No building is better abIe to cast Iight upon this darkness than this cathedraI. |
