Subject/Title of Window: The Deacon

Brief Description of Subject: The bottom portion of the window depicts the deacon helping to raise the chalice at the Offertory part of the Mass. The center portion of the window depicts the deacon wearing a green dalmatic who is standing holding a chalice and a small cruet. The deacon is going to add water to the chalice that is full of wine. The upper portion of the window depicts a gold dove flying downwards.  This represents the deacon’s ordination.

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
