These niches effect a close integration between inner and outer spaces
that, otherwise, would simply have existed side by side as independent
units.  Colored lighting is provided by the large clerestory stained glass
windows to your west, it dims the interior, shedding multi colored lights of
great beauty over the floor and columns that enclose the room.  A octagonal
forechoir can be seen to your east.
