On this page are illustrations of three of the church's seventeen Tiffany Studios stained glass windows -  one of the few houses of worship in the country whose windows are all Tiffany.

At left is the east side of the nave which includes three 2-panel stained glass windows.


There are three corresponding windows on the west side of the nave. The middle figural window on each side of the nave is signed.

There are two identical geometric windows on the front of the church, and a figural window in the organ loft.


Faith and Sacrifice







Faith symbol:  Baptismal font  reminds Christians how they became Christians
 Sacrifice symbol: Chalice with grape vines recalls the Last Supper before Jesus' crucifixion







Opalescent glass with some mottled stained glass
'He is Not Here. He is Risen.'


Resurrection: An angel tells Mary Magdalene and Mary, wife of Cleophas, "He is not here. He is risen."
The architectural canopies frame the figures that might otherwise appear to float in space.
