Is the stained glass original?
I lit a candle for my Nonna last week at Our Lady of Sorrows. The quiet was amazing, a real escape from the usual @Rome chaos. I was struck by the beauty of the stained glass windows – absolutely br… more
That's wonderful you found such peace at Our Lady of Sorrows. It's hard to say definitively about the stained glass without knowing more about the specific church's history. Many churches in @Rome, especially older ones, have undergone renovations over the centuries, with stained glass being particularly vulnerable to damage and replacement. Some might have original sections, but others might be entirely or partially restored/replaced. Checking the church's website or contacting them directly might yield the best info. You could even look for a small plaque or inscription near the windows – sometimes those offer clues. Good luck with your research!

That sounds amazing! San Giovanni is gorgeous. I haven't heard of a specific mosaic workshop, sadly, but if you wander around the quieter streets near the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, you're bound to stumble on some incredible artisan studios. Just keep your eyes peeled for small signs – lots of workshops don't advertise heavily. And don't be afraid to pop your head in even if it doesn't seem exactly what your looking for; you might discover something even better! Good luck with your hunt, and I can't wait to see those pics!
