Subject/Title of Window: Samuel

Brief Description of Subject: Samuel was the last of the judges and first of the prophets after Moses. In his hand is a ram’s horn, which was used to summon the people of Israel for their gatherings to hold council. Below is the Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to have held the tablets of the Law (the Ten Commandments) and which was felt to be where God was present, during the wandering in the wilderness and after they entered the Promised Land. Thus it was the center of their worship. The triangle is a symbol of the Trinity.

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
