 Thanksgiving Chapel by Diorama Sky, on Flickr  Glory Window in the Thanks-Giving Square Chapel by Si1very, on Flickr The "Glory Window" of the Thanks-Giving Square Chapel in downtown Dallas, Texas: www.thanksgiving.org The most prominent and recognizable feature of Thanks-Giving Square is the Chapel of Thanksgiving, a small, spiral tower that features an enclave for prayerful thanks. Inside the chapel, the spiral is topped with stained glass "Glory Window", one of largest horizontally mounted stained-glass pieces in the world. The window was designed by Gabriel Loire of Chartres, France to feature brighter colors as the spiral reached its apex, becoming brighter as it reaches the center. Philip Johnson and Burgee Architects designed the Chapel of Thanksgiving in 1976. The spiral shape of the window is inspired by the spiralled shape of the chambered nautilus.
