Stained glass window at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Cathedral, Brooklyn. Note the open book being held is written in Arabic.

10 stain glass windows were created in 1953 by French artist Jean Crotti, in the "gemmaux" method. Problems with those windows developed and in the late 1950's Saliba Douaihy, a Lebanese artist, worked on those 10 windows and created new ones.
