in the sky and the light in is constantly changing couldn't we can really say that in 5 minutes we won't have the same like conditions let alone during the course of a day's thought of distance but from early morning to late evening the light keeps changing and so the expression changes that we've only aided with the medium of glass glass that's what fascinates me thus his unique. tola abbey has been completely renovated the monastery garden the tower and the abbey church the new windows are the final stage of a long process abbot millerites seeis has overseen the entire project before entering the order he was a professional chef today he cooks for his 11 confreres and the abbe's guests the renovations have exhausted all the community savings there and if you don't take risks in life you lose thanks but courage

wasn't enough the renovations have been enormously expensive fortunately a local entrepreneur and his family stepped up to the plate. in the 1950s edmund mines or founded the family business now one of the largest manufacturer is of metal gratings worldwide the miners on to found catholics and have the full support of their son foals going exactly how much they invested in the abbey they prefer not to say but it's an open secret that they shouldered most of the costs which sca gives all for god's glory we are very religious i've been close to the church since i was a child and i've always worked for the church so when told i abbey was on the verge of closure my husband and i got involved we said to ourselves we have to do something for this part of southwestern germany will suffer a loss and

a spiritual law if you say it was absolutely necessary you can't stand by and watch while an important cultural asset disintegrates before it. was especially impressed by mark saudis work. when they showed me the designs i chose them and media and for me the chance to get to know one woman like her has been truly enriching kids. to attract a wider audience the mice is also suggested seeking an artist with an international reputation to design the 3 quiet windows which would be flanked by monks oldies figurative works a tall order but the church organist was able to help out. such as a snake i love this part of germany is rather out of the way so we needed a special attraction to that of the law this instead of she had placed out there

not only of course we thought immediately of get out of the stuff whose windows for cologne cathedral are magnificent on to and i agreed to try. so i wrote to him dear mr since we're here in germany's oldest monastery we're just trying to stay afloat . and he replied that he had no idea how we could translate his patterns into church windows and that he would make a few suggestions of course lego were incredibly grateful to have done that so he did all of this without accepting any kind of feel those signs at us come off talked. to 3 stained glass windows designed by guess baith the choir in soft light the woman who was put in to the edge. of the. courtroom in. the was that it

was. the. from his office in the village it looks directly out on to the abbey. the renovations have enthused everyone into a lie. they are very important of course the windows by get in the choir and the windows by the afghan artist. which depicts scenes from the old and new testaments their artistic importance extends far beyond the town of toyline and this region. estimates they will attract some 100000 visitors annually when pandemic restrictions are released and you parking lot near the abbey is almost ready and there is another one planned funding

for the new infrastructure came largely from the state government. we are providing parking for $150.00 cars and for buses that specially for the monastery. parking so visitors can come here and park and then travel to the abbey using a shuttle service to the 2 of typhoid. until now the shown bag the highest elevation in the region has been told lies main tourist attraction but when the renovations are complete the focus will no doubt shift to the abbey. the monks hope the new windows will encourage dialogue including about the role of women in the church abbott marie chia seeds committed to following the church's official teachings but he believes the role of women in the church needs to be discussed. this is i. believe we are

created a human male and female and stand as such before a creator when there is deep kind of good vacuum i there is no reason why one should be placed above the other day because in men there isn't any theological reason why a woman shouldn't be ordained to the priesthood dienst. so then. while the last windows for told by a being finished. has already started on her next project. the catholic charity micio has commissioned her to redesign its conference hold in munich. this is a meeting place and whenever we come to this room we should be inspired by the why

and for home we are here. much more than sometimes i think we could create a mystical connection here something we have been. on the project in towline has opened doors for the artist. so i think it's very important that she has a sense of both the sacred and secular things. and is inspired to connect them but because that corresponds to our mission i. think. is often accompanied by her oldest son omit a project developer by profession he also acts as his mother's agent. oh maiden his family live on the 1st floor of his parents' house the muck saudis have strong family ties. and. this is the brain of all i'm her son and i'm proud of her you by the hour but it's

a privilege to observe or at work even if i can be of any assistance and of course i'm glad to help that's my contribution these let's name is high but it's not significant her work is what's important. and everything that occurs in the background has to be attended to and i deal with it that's all just what. the family has put down roots in germany. he was born in afghanistan the son all made in russia and her granddaughter livia in germany if you ask where they come from the answer is munich. he asked that the glass workshop when the last windows can be installed in the abbey church raphael like 9 explains that the monks have said easter is the deadline. yet there we'll deliver the windows in the 3rd week of march because no construction work is permitted in the church during the week before easter good as all right so everything has to be in stone by the.

year. 2 weeks later in told by. fred meyer who 1st from the glass works in munich have delivered the last sanctions . will be installed by local craftspeople. but. i'm proud of my work it was a very exciting time it's an exhausting time but wonderful to you. well seen from the here is his finish what do i feel you taking from the influenced i think the artists technique these are some of the most beautiful windows i've made in my long

career and i've been doing this work for 40 years. this is it's indescribable for me to say it's beautiful to see on. just in time for easter the work is completed. the last section of window is installed. a bit marie sears and the prior inspector saudis work together. this. stuff i guess not said this is it thrills the heart it's really a very beautiful daughters this is the guy who we sing god's praises everywhere and then but it's 3 times more beautiful and we can do it in this space that it's a gift from god got to us we had

a need i never thought when we started and were planning this project that we did she have a result like this we had some bold ideas but we didn't know how to make it happen this exceeds all our expectations right but. to catholic monks and a muslim artist all 3 moved by the same constellation of images. the form and the forms we know either the forms of faith or of various cultures are forms devised by humans or mention of food. on the hill so i moved beyond those boundaries. the met a human person takes center stage themes such as hope. passion a sealed we give one violence. greed and reconciliation these are the themes that recur in many of my works and here as well

one here oh. the for the monks there's a sense of completion but not for. the the. the design depicting satan's fall from heaven he's up on the wall of her munich studio again the artist is drawing on the motifs in tola abbey for a new exhibition. me me me. me me me. me me me me. me. me me.
