Subject/Title of Window: The Cleric
Brief Description of Subject: The bottom of the window depicts Jesus clasping both hands of the cleric symbolizing his acceptance into service of the Church. The venter portion of the window depicts the cleric standing with his hands in an offering gesture. He is wearing a cassock and surplice that shows his clerical state. The upper portion of the window depicts two dark crosses, an open pair of scissors. The scissors represent the ritual tonsure that marks him as a cleric.

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
