Subject/Title of Window: St. Paul

Brief Description of Subject: Background: St. Paul wrote seven epistles. One of his most famous quotes, taken from Ephesians 6: 12 -17 is how we must arm ourselves against evil with "the belt of truth .... breastplate of rightness ... shield of faith .... helmet of salvation ... and the SWORD of  the spirit which is the word of God. Taken from this quote, St Paul's attribution in iconography is the sword ---- he is armed with the word of God.

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
