Marc Chagall

The above stained glass was created by Marc Chagall and dedicated to the United Nations  in 1964 as a  memorial to Dag Hammarskjold, the  second Secretary-General of the UN who died in a plane crash in 1961.

The window was recently restored through the efforts of Maecenas World Patrimony Foundation (MWPF) in 2001 and  a dedication for the restoration was  planned that year.  However, because of the tragic events of 911, the dedication was postponed until 2005.

One day I hope to see  this window in person as I have always loved stained glass murals and how they are brought to life with the light of the sun.
