___________ is a late medieval (12th-14th centuries) architectural style that may include pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and fly
ing buttress. Gothic churches have very tall structures, high interior spaces and, increasingly, the walls are filled with stained glass windows that filter mystical colored light into the interior.
Gothic developed during the Low Middle Ages (12th and 14th centuries), the booming phase of feudalism and urban development. This architectural style evolved directly for the Romanesque. Gothic structures are lighter, supported by arches. The warhead windows allow immense brightness, and the towers are tall and pointed.
Luke the Evangelist, the author of the third gospel account (and the Acts of the Apostles), is symbolized by a winged ox or bull – a figure of sacrifice, service and strength.
