A two-meter-wide stained glass window with the Eye of God, which was most likely hidden by a priest during the communist regime so as to safeguard it, has been discovered and restored to the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Kunratice u Cvikova, north of Prague.
The stained glass window has an elliptic shape, bordered by plant motifs and in the middle is a triangle with the Eye of God surrounded by rays of light. It was made for the church 150 years ago by a well-known German stained glass artist, Richard Schlein from Zittau who had workshops in Prague and Hrádek nad Nisou. The work of art was prominently placed above the alter of the church, which is also known as the Crystal Temple. It stayed in the church for a century before mysteriously disappearing sometime in the 1980s.
