Our goal was to make the excerpt from the gospel visible by only a small glow and to reinforce the reflection of the cross of light which crosses the altar and projects into the crypt. The altar of the basilica, created by the artist Vladimir Zbynovsky and composed of a stone plinth from Armenia, is topped with a glass dome which contains a cut-out in the shape of a cross and a lens to make possible this effect.

Société Lumière was asked by the associated architects of the 2BDM agency (agency of chief architects for Historic Monuments) to manufacture the light boxes for the test stained glass windows, made by the Atelier Loire in Chartres and intended for the Eglise de Provins.
