FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - The first of a set of 14th-century stained glass
windows taken by the Red Army at the end of the Second World War were
unveiled in eastern Germany on Saturday, three years after returning home. 

The 12-metre-high windows consisting of 117 panels are believed to be one of
the only surviving medieval depictions of the Bible. They were returned to
Germany in 2002 by Russia's Hermitage Museum in one of the first major
exchanges of looted art. 

As the bells of the Marienkirche church in Frankfurt an der Oder tolled, the
first fully restored window depicting the life of Christ was unveiled. Next
year, a unique window showing the anti-Christ cycle is to be restored, and a
final window showing Genesis is to be done by 2007.
