| This is the sixth window on your left as you come in the back
of church. |
 |
| What to look for: |
|
|
Left side of window: bird, twelve circles of
fire forming a cross with an "M" in the center, baptismal shell with water
pouring out, grapes, at the foot of the cross is I H S and HOLY
MASS in large circle above a chalice, 2 very large keys, acorn and oak leaves, a
vessel of OIL of the sick. |
|
|
|
|
|
Right side of window: Pelican piercing her
breast to feed her young, fish and a basket of bread, the four evangelists represented by
the head of a young man, an eagle, lion, ox, sheep, P X, caterpillar,
butterfly, star, moon, grapes, crown, chalice with a host above it. |
| . |
| Meaning: Left Side: The
twelve apostles with the Blessed Virgin Mary received the Holy Spirit. Mass is a
perpetuation of the Sacrifice of the Cross/ The Baptismal shell signifies that through
Baptism we partake of the benefits of the Mass and Communion. The keys represent Christ's
power over heaven and earth. The artist again has a hand holding 2 rings. This time he may
wish to show that the Church is the Bride of Christ. Palm leaves signify victory, and the
stole represents priesthood. |
| Meaning: Right Side: As
a pelican feeds her young with her flesh and blood, Christ feeds us. Christ multiplied the
bread and fish, a miracle. as is also His power to give himself under the forms of bread
and wine. Grapes represent the wine. The caterpillar and butterfly are symbolic of Death
and Resurrection. |
