Subject/Title of Window: House of Gold

Brief Description of Subject: This window depicts a gold tabernacle where consecrated bread is kept. Inside the tabernacle is the Chi Rho symbol of Christ. The house is gold because it shows the incorruptibility of the house and therefore of Mary because she was the physical home of Christ before he was born.

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
