The glass screen is both a wall and a window, linking the old Cathedral with the New . From the top of the Queen's steps outside visitors are invited to pause at look upon their own reflections as the image of Christ on the altar’s tapestry peers out. From the inside the Ruins are visible through the screen, providing a constant reminder of the journey from destruction to resurrection.
