Subject/Title of Window: Eucharist 2-Sanctuary
Brief Description of Subject: This is the second of 9 such sanctuary windows symbolically depicting the Eucharist.
The sacrament of the Eucharist stems from the Last Supper where Christ changes bread and wine into his body and blood. Seen here is a sheaf of wheat and a bunch of grapes on the vine which surround a bread wafer and a chalice of wine which in the sacrament of the Eucharist have been changed into the body and blood of Christ.
The window was conceived by a master stained glass designer, Marguirite Gaudin of Willet Hauser Architectural Glass.
Comments from "Our Stained Glass Windows" c. 1970 " focusing our attention on the north and south walls of the sanctuary, we raise our eyes to the small square windows. These delightful little gems bearing in themselves the symbols of the Blessed Sacrament. A different symbol is designed in each little window, beautifully executed and sparkling with life."
