Brief Description of Subject: Holy Trinity Symbolism
The traditional symbol of God in many cultures has been the circle. The circle has no beginning or end, which describes the most foundational truth about God. The Trinity Window at St. Catherine of Siena Church has been designed by Michael Northrop to begin to explain and honor the great mystery of the Trinitarian nature of God. The window is intended to be a devotional aid to the believer and a teaching aid to the seeker.

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
