St. Augustine and Gothic Architecture (How do THEY relate?)

St. Augustine was a very important philosopher and he had a huge role in the Gothic period and how it all began. St. Augustine was always looking for the answers to his many, many questions. to find the answers to these questions he searched everywhere, including the Bible. But all he learned from the Bible was that we are all drawn to sin but it doesn't say why. It also doesn't provide any answers for his questions. So he turned to philosophy. through philosophy Augustine came to the conclusion that light represents gods presence and that we can find happiness through love and through god. So when the Gothic Cathedrals were being built they all had big windows and they allowed alot of light to come in. Which shows Augustines thinking about light representing god. So the more windows you have and the more light that comes in the closer you will feel to God and his heavenly powers.
