Subject/Title of Window: Crucifixion, Resurrection and the Ascension

Brief Description of Subject: A series of three windows. In the middle is the Crucifixion. Mary and John stand near. The medallions above and below are the plot of the scourging and the flagellants and the crown of thorns with three nails. To the left is the resurrection window. The savior with the banner of victory in his nail pierced hand, while he pronounces his Easter benediction to the mourning Magdelene. Beneath them lies the stone rolled from the door of the sepulcher and to one side stands a Roman guard whose watch was in vain. The ascension is to the right. It depicts Christ on a cloud of glory with hands extended in blessing, while two angels stand ready to assure His disciples.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
