Subject/Title of Window: The Herrman Window

Brief Description of Subject: The Herrman Window was given in memory of Henry Herrman by his twin sons, Richard and Robert. It was dedicated on March 17, 1957. Fishers of men is the theme of this window, with St. Peter, a fisherman by trade, occupying the central lancet. He holds in his hands the keys of Heaven. Over his head is an inverted cross, the symbol of martyrdom. The side lancets portray St. Simon and St. Jude, both fishermen. Also shown are the symbols for St. Simon, a book topped by a fish, and for St. Jude, a carpenter's square. Other symbols of the sea include a boat, anchors, a ships wheel, and boat hook.

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
