As you may already know, Greensboro Daily Photo (in North Carolina-- some people ask) is a member of the City Daily Photo Community. The first day of every month is theme day with the CDP community and August's theme is Bright Colors. Since we also like to post something related to religion on Sundays, these stained glass windows at Beth David Synagogue were perfect for both themes! This picture was taken during our photo shoot last week when we also took this photo. There are at least ten of these panels in the sanctuary. Each window has great symbolism in the Jewish faith. Having a few minutes of repose in this colorful, sacred place is something we will remember for a long time.

Such beautiful light coming from those windows! This is a great choice for the theme and for Sacred Sunday!

There is nothing more colorful than stained glass. Nice!

Great windows and colors and mood. Even the light on the seats and ceiling is nice.
After enlarging the photo, I can Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Succot themes; but the left hand one is a mystery.

This is great! I'm surprised there wasn't more stained glass today!

@Dina - the last one is Simchat Torah - which is the holiday celebrating the end and beginning of the daily Torah Readings. The whole set of the 10 windows starts with Shabbat and chronilogically goes through the holidays, ending with marriage and family. I hope y'all will post the other five some time in the future.
