These beautiful long, narrow rose-colored windows contain symbols of the resurrection, mainly the lily. The narthex windows were installed in 1911 when the narthex was added to the sanctuary. The five sanctuary lily windows were installed earlier between 1887-1890. No information was available on who designed or installed them.

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
