Brief Description of Subject: The rainbow is a symbol of the love of God. It appears as a sign after the great floor indicating that there will be no other floods and that God will always keep covenant with his people. Whenever the rainbow appears in the sky, the religious community is reminded of the patient and steadfast love of God. The dove wiht olive branch in its beak signals safe pasage for Noah and his family to dry land. Even when every kind of flood seeks to overwhelm us today, both symblas remind us that God will keep his promises and ses us to a place of safety.

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
