A visit to St. Stephan's Church in Mainz is a very serene church experience (not only for Christmas!). The church is famous for its ethereal stained glass windows, which were created by the Russian Jewish artist Marc Chagall between 1978 and 1985. The luminous glass windows in different hues of blue depict scenes from the Old and New Testament, and besides being a masterpiece of glass art, the soaring windows carry a political message as well: Chagall wanted them as a monument of reconciliation between Jews and Christians.
