Symbolism
- Stylistically, this window displays elements of the Munich School and thus acquired its misleading name in this parish.
- The window is installed next to the Baptismal Font, which may have been suggested by Reverend Augustus Schaad because of Louise Musson’s work with children in and outside of the church.
- Christ is framed in a vesica piscis, the shape of a fish. His elaborate robe and other garments depict Him as the High Priest, and the deep blue color symbolizes eternity, divine wisdom, and heavenly peace.
- The mothers who flank Christ wear green robes that represent youth and happiness.
