The Vestry of Christ Church dedicated ten beautiful new stained glass windows on the twentieth anniversary of the consecration of our Church, November 24, 2019. The booklet below, written by Grace Converse, provides detailed explanation of the deep symbolic meaning contained within each window. We praise God for these lovely pieces of art!
Alpha and Omega – the preexistent Christ, Son of God.
Incarnation – Nativity, “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.”
Chi Rho – Jesus anointed the “Christ” at His baptism, the beginning of His ministry.
Miracle of Loaves and Fishes – the manifestation of Christ in His signs and wonders.
Crown of Thorns and Nails – Passion, Crucifixion and Death of Jesus Who died for our Salvation.
Easter Lily and Palm Branches – The Resurrection of Christ.
Orb, Scepter, and Crown of Christ, Heavenly King – in a mandorla, with a rainbow.
Shell and Water – Baptism and Earthly Pilgrimage.
Pelican Feeding Young with Her Own Flesh – Holy Eucharist.
