| In the first of the three nave windows on the south side of the sanctuary
after entering from the Narthex are depicted the expulsion of Adam and Eve
from the Garden, lower window. The central medallion is Abraham's attempted
sacrifice of his son Isaac, and at the top is Noah building the Ark. The
small symbol above is the hand of God the Father. |
The middle window portrays Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers,
Moses descending from Mt. Sinai bringing the Tables of the Law to the Children
of Israel. At the top King David is portrayed, harp in hand, in the act
of writing the Psalms credited to him. A censer, the symbol of prayer, completes
this window. |
In the third we see Elijah, ascending into heaven in a fiery chariot, Isaiah
the prophet whose lips were sealed by a flaming coal, and Amos, the champion
of social justice. Interesting symbols in the top medallion are the shepherd's
crook, the plumbline, the grasshopper and the basket of summer fruit. Above
the medallions appear the Lamb of God, symbol of the Christ. |
