Subject/Title of Window: Jesus Walking on the Sea

Brief Description of Subject: This shows Jesus coming to his disciples on the stormy seas of life. The sea is an ancient symbol of the chaos of the world, and Jesus offers them strength which he has drawn from his times of prayer with God. The anchor cross comes from the severe persecution of the first centuries, when Christians were able to find in Christ an anchor of hope during those turbulent times.

Condition of Window: Several of the windows have had minor repairs, but we don't know which ones.

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
