The Ascension of Our Lord, South Wall

 

Installed probably in the late 1920s or early 1930’s -- Given in memory of Albert and Catherine Clewett -- and may have come from studios in Boston or New York. This is one of the best examples of stained glass art in the church. This window stands for both the Resurrection and Ascension. The side panels contain the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, the Alpha and Omega, reminding us that Christ is the beginning and ending of all. The Trinitarian symbol (the three entwined circles) at the top represents our Lord as One person of the Triune Godhead.
