The Baptismal Window, North Wall

Given in memory of John and Amelia Daniels in the late 1920’s or early 1930’s. The artist is unknown. It probably was crafted in studios in Boston or New York. Center panel depicts the baptismal event itself. Over the scene hovers the descending dove which symbolizes the coming of the Holy Spirit. The panel on the right is the conventional form of the font. The panel on the left depicts the escallop shell with three drops of water indicating we are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The smaller panel above the center depicts the Lamb, the Cross and a Furled Banner with the cross on it recalling the words of John the Baptist when he proclaimed “Behold the Lamb of God.”
