    6/19/2016 Rose window ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rose window From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A rose window or Catherine window is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window, but is especially used for those found in churches of the Gothic architectural style and being divided into segments by stone mullions and tracery. The name “rose window” was not used before the 17th century and according to the Oxford English Dictionary, among other authorities, comes from the English flower name rose.[1] The term “wheel window” is often applied to a window divided by simple spokes radiating from a central boss or opening, while the term “rose window” is reserved for those windows, sometimes of a highly complex design, which can be seen to bear similarity to a multi­petalled rose. Rose windows are also called Catherine windows after Saint Catherine of Alexandria who was sentenced to be executed on a spiked wheel. A circular Exterior of the rose at Strasbourg window without tracery such as are found in many Italian churches, is Cathedral, France. referred to as an ocular window or oculus. Rose windows are particularly characteristic of Gothic architecture and may be seen in all the major Gothic Cathedrals of Northern France. Their origins are much earlier and rose windows may be seen in various forms throughout the Medieval period. Their popularity was revived, with other medieval features, during the Gothic revival of the 19th century so that they are seen in Christian churches all over the world.

She took Isabel, and I went along at my own expense. November 15, 1990 Thursday, November 15, 1990, the three of us flew from Philadelphia to New York and then London the next morning. Because Barb had a business-class seat along with Mom, I flew coach. But sometime during the flight, the flight-attendant came to me and asked me to accompany her. I didn’t know where we were going, and the people around me must have wondered what I had done. She then took me up to the second level “bubble” of the plane where I joined Isabel for breakfast in Business Class, and Barb took my seat for a while in Coach. Friday, November 16, 1990 Arriving in London, we then transferred on to Frankfurt arriving in the mid- afternoon, quite exhausted. We picked up our rental car and drove to Hochst, the town where I had been stationed in the Army in 1946 I had previously arranged by correspondence for our first two-day stay at a small German hotel, the Ursala Hof, just outside Hochst, though I did not know that it was not the best, as we were concerned.
