In the front of the sanctuary is this magnificent image of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.  At bottom are His words, "Not my will but thine be done."

​

Jerusalem is in the background, and hidden in a nook to Jesus' right side are Peter and John, the first of the twelve to meet the Risen Christ.

In this window are found the crown of thorns and an abbreviation of the charge for which Jesus was executed.  INRI stands for the Latin phrase "IESUS NAZARENUS REX IUDAEORUM."  That is, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." 

The lily flower has been a symbol of the Resurrection for well over a thousand years. 

​

This is especially the case in France, where the fleur de lis has represented both the resurrection of Jesus as well as the Trinity as a whole.  The three lilies in our window hearkens back to these symbols as well. 

In Christian monarchies in Europe, when a king is crowned he is given an orb and scepter.  The scepter represented the king's worldly power.  The orb and cross was given to the king to me a reminder to him that no matter how powerful he might be, Christ is the King of the World. 

​This window reminds us that Christ is King, and He reigns as ruler today.

There are three elements here: the Dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit; streams of water representing baptism; and the Chi-Rho, which are the first two Greek letters in the name  "Christ."  This is a dual symbol both of Jesus' baptism by John, when the Holy Spirit descended on Him, and also of the fact that we are baptized into Christ, who gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit.. 

This window represents the elements in the Sacrament of Communion: Bread and Wine. 

​

In the Lord's Supper we receive the bread and wine (or grape juice), which symbolize the Lord's Body and Blood, which are to us a sign and seal of the Covenant of Grace.

Since the days of the Protestant Reformation, this has been a symbol of the message of the Reformation: the "Five Solas."  These are that we are saved by Grace Alone, through Faith Alone, in Christ Alone, according to Scripture Alone, to the Glory of God Alone.  The red color of the flower represents the blood of the Reformers who were killed for their faithfulness. 

Here we see five symbols: the Chi-Rho on top, representing Christ above all; the triangle, representing the Trinity; the cross with a shepherd's crook atop it, representing Jesus as our Good Shepherd; the two tablets of the Law, representing our duty to God; and in the center the Maltese Cross, representing the Church Militant in her role of taking the Gospel to the world. 

This cross originated in the Reformation, when the French Protestants were called Huguenots.  The Maltese cross represents the Church militant, the green represents life, and is the color of Lazarus, the eight dots represent the Beatitudes, the Dove represents the Holy Spirit, and the four fleurs de lis represent the Trinity.
