Subject/Title of Window: St. James the Less

Brief Description of Subject: The bottom portion of the window depicts St. James the Less’s martyrdom.  When St. James was an old man, he was thrown off the top of a temple, but he did not die. Because of this, he was clubbed and stoned to death. The center portion of the window depicts St. James standing with a bishop’s crozier in one hand and stones in the other. The upper portion of the window depicts a white windmill on a red background that signifies Mosaic Law.

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
