| Stained Glass
Tour - Christ as Judge |
|
Dan Pater |
This is the first window on your right as
you come in the back of church. |
 |
| What to look for: |
|
|
Christ looking down at a heart, the Holy Spirit and the waters of Baptism,
Hand of God, Christ with the words, "He hath given Him to do
judgment",
Crucifix, a little man praying for salvation, IDOL WORSHIP - a golden calf and a man
adoring it, next to the keys Cain slaying his brother, Abel, and the word HATE, Heads of
the twelve apostles around the Resurrected Christ, Key in the middle, Christ again at the
bottom, GREED - a man with a money bag, FAITH - crucifix, HOPE - resurrection, LOVE
- God the Son. |
| . |
Meaning: The hand of God
judges all. The garment of Christ is severed into two halves, by the wary line beginning
at the shoulder and continuing to the bottom of the window.
On judgment day the good will be separated from the bad. Within
the area to the right are faith hope and love. Within those to the left are Idol Worship,
by the adoration of the Golden Calf and Despair and Hate.
Faith is represented by Christ on the Cross, Hope by the
Ascension in which the disciples are shown merely as heads surrounding the figure of
Christ.
Cain, slaying Able was chosen for HATE, and Cain said to the
Lord, :My inquiry is greater than that I may deserve pardon." "Behold.
Thou dost cast me out this day from Thy Face and I shall be a vagabond and fugitive on the
earth."
At the very top, The Heart of Christ, pierced for love of us,
and the Holy Spirit coming to us through the waters of Baptism giving us the Theological
Virtues of Faith, Hope and Love which makes it possible for all of us to be saved. |
