Subject/Title of Window: Holy Communion #2

Brief Description of Subject: This is the second of three windows, located high up on the epistle side of the sanctuary, that symbolizes the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Pictured here are a chalice, and a host on a paten.

The chalice is the most sacred vessel, and is lined with gold. It will hold the wine that becomes the Blood of Christ used in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

The paten is a plate of gold which fits on the top of the chalice. It is a place for the host to rest on. The host will become the Body of Christ used in the Sacrament of Communion.

This window was designed by Margaret Bouchez Cavanaugh when she worked at the Detroit Stained Glass Works.

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
