Brief Description of Subject: This is the second of four aisle windows that use material from the Old Testament.
 
The following description is based on notes from the Church's Stained Glass Tour held on Sunday, April 28, 1985.
 
The left lancet is named "Deluge" which is covered in Genesis Chapters 6 - 9. Pictured is Noah's Ark and a rainbow. The rainbow is the sign that God used to seal a covenant with Noah that he would never again destroy the world with a flood, (Genesis 9:12 - 13).
 
The right lancet is named "The Sacrifice of Isaac which is covered in Genesis 22. Seen in this picture is a bundle of wood, a knife, and a brazier made of clay to carry the fire. This comes from Genesis 22:6, "Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife."
 
The artist for this window was Edward Glubka.

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
