Cedar of Lebanon in Sahiwal Chapel

Warm golden light floods the interior of a Sahiwal chapel, illuminating a massive Cedar of Lebanon tree that spreads its branches across the room. The ancient bark displays deep, furrowed ridges of gray and brown, against the vibrant reds and blues of nearby stained glass windows. Condensation beads along the cold surface of the glass panes, catching the low-angle sunlight in tiny, shimmering droplets. Early winter air settles on the stone floor, where shadows stretch long and symmetrical beneath the spreading limbs. The tree trunk rises from a central stone base, its needles dusted with a faint layer of pale frost. Light falls through the foliage, casting dappled patterns of amber and crimson onto the polished stone walls.
