|  | The spire The Saint Chapel was built in 6 years (1242 - 1248) to receive the relic of Christ : the crown of thorns, a piece of the True Cross and a nail.
It is a reliquary.
It was erected at the demand of the King Saint Louis who was turned back from the cruisade.
Louis 9° was transformed into a Saint at the request of his Grand Son Philippe 4° who considered a saint was necessary in a Royal family. |
St Jack the Minor The 12 apostles are presented in statue.
Some are not identified.
This one seems to be Saint Jack, called the Minor. | | |
| | The rose An ancient movie producer said :
The French Kings spent the contributer's money lavishly but sometimes it was not an expense but an investment.
It is true for the Sainte Chapelle. |

During WW II, the stained glasses were taken down to be protected. |
