18 hand painted stained glass windows, about 1,300 square feet, for the Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa in Pristina, Kosovo, with a storyline by don Dominik Qerimi that weaves the history of the Catholic Church with the history of the Albanian people: Saints Peter and Paul, Saint Astius, Saints Florus and Laurus, the Council of Nicaea, Saint Nicetas, Saint Jerome, Skanderbeg, Pope Clement XI, the 40 martyrs, Mother Teresa, Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI, and the Holy Angels.
Light without borders
For the Cathedral of Saint Mother Teresa in Pristina, the most important Catholic church in Kosovo, Stanisic Studio made 18 new stained glass windows under an agreement signed with Bishop Dodë Gjergji on 26 April 2014. Don Dominik Qerimi wrote the storyline and directed the art; the first sketches were drawn with him in Gnjilane in March 2014. The windows were painted and made in Sombor, Serbia, and installed by the studio crew on many trips to Pristina.
