This impressive site in downtown Dallas celebrates the concept of gratitude and its expression in world religions. Thanks-Giving Square is home to the Chapel of Thanksgiving; its horizontal, spiraling stained glass installation, known as the Glory Window, is simultaneously the chapel's roof and ceiling. Designed by architect Philip Johnson, the square itself opened in 1977 and now features gardens, courtyards, and fountains for serenity and reflection. The site has been visited by a number of religious leaders, including the Dalai Lama.
