Brief Description of Subject: This is one of three windows in the back of the church over the doors.
In the center is Jesus. Above him is an eagle, symbolizing the Gospel of John, because it soars to greater heights of revelation. Below is a winged lion for the Gospel of Mark. The lion, as king of beasts, represents the royal character of Christ, and refers to the opening verses of the Gospel which tell about “the voice of one crying in the wilderness.”

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
