The Seven Days of Creation
Six windows spell as in Hebrew from right to left bereshit “In the beginning…each window showing one of the six letters and the seventh one, because it is a day of rest.
Window V
And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven… and God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that depth… be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas.
Above fowl i.e. winged things in mid air and below swarms of aquatic animals often in pairs to insure propagation and various insects, one with two different wings, indicating that misfits are also part of creation.
Fifth Day
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
