Subject/Title of Window: The Ceeley Window
Brief Description of Subject: The Ceele Window was given in memory of Wesley Ceeley by his family. It was dedicated on March 16, 1947. St. Paul, the patron saint of this parish, fills the central lancet. Above his head is the Hand of God and over that the burning lamp of eternal life. At his feet is the Maltese cross of the Knights Templar. The right lancet shows St. Martin parting his cloak to give to the needy. Above his head is the whip, indicating martyrdom of the Saint, and below are a basin, pitcher, and towel, symbols of service to others. The left lancet shows St. Barnabas giving alms. Below is a basket of loaves and fishes, and above, an axe, spear, and stones, signifying his martyrdom. In the left kite above is the IHS, the sacred monogram, and in the right kite the XP (Chi Rho), these being the first letters in the Greek word meaning Christ.

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
