Our Spiritual Heritage

The Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stained glass


Posted by Picasa This photograph of the stained glass window in the front of the church depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary in a blaze of light. Our Church has many stained glass windows. Others are situated on the sides of the building. A better understanding of their positioning may be had by viewing the post entitled Our Church. The positioning of the windows is important, as they reflect the suns light into the building at different times during the day. Sunlight is reflected through the windows onto the floor of the church. This light is then reflected back onto the congregation. The religious significance of this play on light is that Jesus is the light of our lives and that the congregation who pray here must seek to reflect that light in their own lives. The church is part of the architectural heritage of our community.
