OUR LADY OF HEALTH Shrine
LAÚNDOS - PORTUGAL
(realization 2019)

Psalm 150 – 'Eternal Praise'

'Eternal Praise' that springs from the depths of the human being, when he finds himself before God.

The stained glass windows on the main façade express the praise in this place, the Sanctuary of Laúndos, - shaped like a reed organ - located on a hill surrounded by green hills and a sky that evokes the presence of Mary.

Oreason for praise understood as a celestial temple, with the stars, with the firmament, but also the colors of the earth, it becomes cosmic: it is an earthly praise that joins the heavenly praise.

Youinstruments of praise there are sounds of horns, harps and zithers, timbales and dances, strings and flutes, sonorous cymbals and strident cymbals.

The musical notes engraved on the glasses emphasize short or fast, happy or sad rhythms and pauses.

Man enters the Sanctuary with the weight of pain, but is invited to praise God in the majestic firmament and to celebrate him in GRACE, in the immense grandeur expressed by the light and colors of the presbytery's stained glass windows.
