The Gethsemane Window, South Wall

 

This depicts Jesus praying in the garden after His last meal with His disciples. The most poignant phrase of His prayer was, “Father if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what Thou wilt.” Right panel -- a cross with the letters IC above (a Greek abbreviation for Jesus) and XC for the word Christ. Below the cross the letters NIKA ( Greek for Victor). Left panel -- the crown, reward for those who are victorious through the power of God. Given in memory of Phyllis Hendrickson Bedahl, Simon Haugh, and George A. Magnuson. Installed in the summer of 1956 -- Crafted by Mr. O’Brien of Minneapolis.
