Christ the King - Omaha

Christ the King Church in Omaha is a very unique church painted by 9,000 square foot of stained glass that seem to hold the room on top of the church.  As this ring of stained glass surrounds the church it tells the story of Jesus mostly in blue tones with red and yellow accents.  The glass sticks to a very square pattern that gives off a 60's motif   The other items that sets this church apart are the gold etchings in the stone walls above the entrances and used in the stations.  I live the fact that these stations are integrated into the building instead of being something just hung on the wall.  The other items that struck me as beautiful is the large arrangement of candles that flanks the sanctuary on the left.  I envision it as a burning bush with no less that 1,000 yellow candles creating the top of the brick structure.  You can also visit the perpetual adoration chapel as you pass by this interesting piece of artwork.
