Devotional Petals: Ambulatory Chapels at Saint‑Denis
How radiating chapels shape distributed prayer and movement around the shrine in Saint‑Denis’s ambulatory.

12 min read
Chapels petal around the ambulatory. Each becomes a station where light, image, and stone fold into prayer. Devotion is distributed yet focused.
Chapel Types
- Relic focus: Small shrines at niche centers.
- Image focus: Panels for didactic reading.
- Altar focus: Micro‑liturgies during feasts.
Devotion is distributed yet focused.
