The Saint Martial d'Orgnac sur Vézère church
After the discovery of 17th century wall paintings in the choir, the large axial bay was reopened in 2008, thus changing the luminosity of the church.
The association of "Friends of the Church" then had the bright idea of requesting the intervention of Father Kim en Joong. Creator of stained glass windows for places of spirituality, all over the world, this Dominican of Korean origin, agreed to carry out the restoration of the lighting of the building.
The installation of the 11 stained glass windows symbolizes the rebirth of the church. This space of meditation is sublimated by these stained glass windows from which emanate the power of the colors and the softness of the reflections.
