Great West Window
C.E. Kemp |
| |
The great west
window above the main entrance to the nave depicts the Adoration of
the Lord as the Risen and Enthroned Christ in Heaven with a gathering
of saints and angels. Around Christ we see the Virgin Mary, Saint
Peter, Saint John, Saint John the baptist, Saint Paul, Isaiah, King
David, Saint Jerome, Saint Basil, Saint Columba, Saint Hilda, Saint
Helena, Saint Stephen, Saint George, Saint Agnes, and Saint Catherine.
In the upper portion, there are angels with scrolls bearing the words
of the Te Deum. Below them are angels singing and playing their hymns
of praise. This window echoes the style of fifteenth-century English
glass painters and was made by C.E. Kemp of England.
Note that C.E. Kemp also made the windows in the Chapel
of the Nativity, 100 years before. |
