Cross and Glory

by Marc Couturier (1993, 1997)
La croix en or qui se dresse au dessus de la Vierge de Pitié

In 1993, Cardinal Lustiger commissioned and erected the Glorious Cross by Marc Couturier. The cross dominates the Pietà of the former high altar. This large cross is visible from the entrance of the cathedral. It projects a luminous hope throughout the building and brings a living conclusion to the mourning of the Virgin.
