This is the second window on your left as you come in the back of church.

In this window the succession from Ann to Mary to Christ is shown. This growth from one to another is indicated also by the contact of hands of one figure to another. St. Ann presenting Mary, who in turn presents Christ, who by His supreme sacrifice, made our salvation possible, and by giving us the Holy Mass, perpetuated His sacrifice which is indicated by the Chalice. The fountain of grace has its source in the Chalice. To the side of St. Ann are pomegranates symbolic of Fruitfulness. Surrounding Mary are stylized lilies for her purity. The caterpillar and butterfly are symbolic of Death and Resurrection. The Evangelists preserved the story of St. Ann for us.
         As the caterpillar spins itself into a cocoon, and loses its identity to enter into a better and higher life of a butterfly, so do we at our death lose this material existence to rise to a higher life with Christ. It is said so beautifully in the Funeral Mass:  "Life is not taken away, but changed."
The maternal genealogy of Jesus through his Mother and Grandmother is shown by the hands extending from one figure to the other.
          The top left mullioned section carries the Greek LOGOS, or “Word”, which is the identification of Jesus Christ as the incarnate second person of the Holy Trinity (John 1), the Father's creative Word (Wisdom 8). In the right mullioned section there is an ornate chalice from which stands the chi-rho (which looks here like a crossed “P” often looks like a X and superimposed P), made of the two first two letters of “Christ” in Greek. Behind the chalice is a sprig of wheat, confirming the clear reference to the Eucharistic as a link to the life of the Holy Trinity.
          “SAINT ANNE”, the mother of Mary who is mother of Jesus, is labeled in the main window. Above her head, in the highest point of the main window, shines a star, symbolizing her holiness and divine favor. The elderly mother (note the wizened face and hands) extends her hands over her youthful daughter Mary, who has her own right hand raised in blessing and the left, touching Jesus St. Anne’s grandson, the child Jesus, easily identified by the special halo he bears in all the church windows. His hands in turn point to a representation of “THE MYSTERY OF THE HOLY MASS” in a circular shape which may indicate the consecrated host which carries the scene of the crucifixion. This “host” stands above another ornate chalice, on cup of which is represented the scene of the Pietà, Mary holding the body of her crucified Son (indicated by “IHS”, the first three letters of Jesus’ name in Greek) after His deposition from the cross (St. John looks on from the right), thus showing the role the Mother of the Word had in the redemptive sacrifice of her Son.
         Below this intensely symbolic scene is a large stylized representation of the Holy Spirit as a dove (Matt 3:16 = Mark 1:10 = Luke 3:22 = John 1:32). The Paraclete hovers over four bearded faces in very small scale at the very bottom of the window which represent the evangelists, each with a hand raised in witness to the Truth.
         The window’s periphery has various symbolic plants and animals reflecting further meaning. The pomegranate to the right of Anne’s face suggests her spiritual and physical fruitfulness, recalling the story from the apocryphal Proto-Gospel of James which recounts how God granted her and Joachim a child in their old age, not unlike Sts Elizabeth and Zachary, the parents of John the Baptist. The oak leaves remind of strength and endurance during times of trial and suffering. The lilies around the Virgin portray her beauty and purity. The vines and shafts of wheat show the spiritual nourishment of our sacramental food and drink. To the left of chalice are a caterpillar and butterfly, clearly referring to the of transformation of death into live by the resurrection of Jesus himself and of all His Faithful. It also represents spiritual transformation through Baptism, further shown by the water and breathing fish directly below the butterfly.
         The window shows a profound interplay of literal and symbolic representation and meaning. Although dedicated to St. Anne, it is clearly Christo-centric. No greater honor can be shown St Anne and to her daughter Mary than considering their central roles, through piety, faith and obedience, in bringing about our salvation by the incarnation of the Word of God.
