A "portate cross" is an angled cross which is the position it would be in if you tried to bear the weight of a cross by putting its cross bar on your shoulder and the end resting on the ground.The crown of life is your reward for bearing your cross --- James 1:12 "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, because having stood the test, that person will receive the CROWN OF (eternal) LIFE that the Lord promised."

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
