Building Name: Woodlawn Cemetery Community Mausoleum

City: Detroit

Window Shape: 2 (rectangle)

Subject/Title of Window: Lilies

Brief Description of Subject: At this point each person viewing this window can make their own interpretation. A Christian interpretation might be Easter Sunday morning. White lilies, known as Easter lilies symbolize the resurrection --- apropos to a burial site. A non-Christian view would involve the idea of "peace," as the white lily is used to symbolize peace.
 
There is a shield at the bottom. In heraldry, the black eagle is displayed spread eagle with head pointing to the viewers left, and the golden lion is displayed passant --- walking to the viewers left with right paw raised.

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
