7b Ruth, the gleaner, ancestress of Jesus, was treated with kindness in a foreign land. (Ruth 2.) Symbol - a sickle and few strands a wheat.
8a Hannah and her first son, Samuel, whom she dedicated to the Lord to serve in the Temple. (I Samuel 1:27-28). Samuel, the last judge, became the priest who anointed both King Saul (1 Samuel 10:1) and King David. (1 Samuel 10:1, 16:13.) Symbol - a small child awakened by the voice of God (Samuel 3:2-14).
8b King David unified the nation of Israel; his son, King Solomon, was noted for his great wisdom (1 Kings 3:2-28). Symbols - King David’s harp or Star of David and the Temple David planned and Solomon finally completed (1 Chronicles 22).
9a Elijah, the prophet of wonder, was a great prophet in the ninth century before Christ. One of the most dynamic of Israel’s religious leaders, he shaped the history of his day and dominated religious thinking for centuries. Symbol - the chariot of fire in which he was carried into heaven (II Kings 2:11).
9b Jeremiah, the second of the four major prophets (about 624-586 B.C.), was required by God to deliver stern warnings of judgment and against sin, but he also brought messages of hope and restoration, including the prediction of the Messiah (Jeremiah 23:5-6). He wrote, “My people have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out broken cisterns, that can hold no water” (Jeremiah 2:13). Symbol - a broken well.
10a Ezekiel, the third of the four major prophets (about 592 B.C.), was known for his mystical writings (see, e.g., Ezekiel 1:4-14, describing symbols later representing the four Gospel writers). While Jeremiah spoke to the Jews in Palestine, Ezekiel ministered to the exiles in Babylon. He wrote of “one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures.” Symbol - a wheel.
10b Daniel, the fourth of the four major prophets (604 B.C.), was a young Hebrew captive who became the favorite of the Babylonian King Darius. Because he would not stop worshiping God, he was thrown into the lion’s den, but survived. Symbol - a lion bowing down (Daniel 6:1-28).
11a Amos was a herdsman and a farmer as well as a prophet. He has been called the prophet most like Jesus. His writing was often poetic: “Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” (Amos 5:24). In one of Amos’ visions, God promised, “I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel” (Amos 7:8). In another God showed him a basket of summer fruit (Amos 8:1-2). Symbols - a plumb line and a basket of fruit.
11b Jonah disobeyed God’s command to go to Ninevah, sailing in the opposite direction (Jonah 1:1-3). When a tempest overtook the ship, Jonah was thrown into the sea and swallowed by a great fish. (Jonah 1.) Symbol - a whale.
Chancel Windows - the Apostles
12a St. Peter, the Galilean fisherman who became a leader among the apostles, was the first to recognize Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Upon this firm, rock-like faith, Christ built his church. (Matthew 16:16-18.) He, together with James and John, comprised an inner circle of apostles who were with Jesus at the Transfiguration (Matthew17:1-8; Mark 9: 2-8; Luke 9:28) and Gethsemane ( Matthew 26: 36-46). Peter was crucified in Rome under Nero, upside down because he felt unworthy to die as his Lord. Symbol - keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 19:19.)
12b St. Andrew, first a disciple of John the Baptist, was present at Jesus’ baptism and became his first disciple. Andrew, also a fisherman, brought his elder brother, Peter, to Jesus. (John 1:40-42.) Later it was Andrew who told Christ of the small boy with five loaves and two fishes with which Christ fed the multitudes (John 6:5-9). Tradition holds that Andrew was crucified on an X-shaped cross, now known as the Cross of St. Andrew. Symbol - X-shaped cross and a fishnet.
13a St. James the Less (or “the Just”), son of Alphaeus, a faithful apostle, was one of those present in the upper room in Jerusalem after Christ’s ascension. (Acts 1:13.) According to ecclesiastic historians, as an elderly man, St. James was martyred by being pushed from the top of the Temple. As he lay dying he prayed for forgiveness for his enemies. Enraged, they beat him with a fuller’s bat (an instrument used in processing cloth), then quartered him when dead. Symbols - the instruments of his martyrdom, a bat and a saw.
13b St. Thomas doubted that Jesus rose from the dead after he was crucified until he felt Christ’s wounds. Awestruck, he then declared his faith, “My Lord and my God.” (John 20:19-29.) It is because St. Thomas asked, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?” we have Christ’s words, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:5-6). According to ancient tradition, when the apostles divided the world for their missionary journeys, India fell to Thomas, where he labored as a carpenter until his martyrdom by arrows and a spear. St. Thomas is the patron saint of builders. According to one legend, he built a church with his own hands. An alternative, more colorful explanation is that he offered to build a palace for the king that would last forever. The king gave him money, which Thomas gave to the poor. Asked to show his progress, St. Thomas explained that the palace he was building was in heaven, not on earth. The king, in time, was converted to Christianity. To this day, Christians in the region of Malabar, India, claim descent from those who were first brought to Christ by St. Thomas. Symbol - a carpenter’s square and an arrow.
14a St. Philip, like Peter and Andrew, was from Bethsaida by the Sea of Galilee. Jesus called him with the simple statement, “Follow me.” Philip required nothing more. He in turn brought Bartholomew (or Nathaneal), declaring to him that he had found the one about whom Moses and the prophets wrote. (John 1:43-45.) Philip asked, “Lord, show us the Father,” to which Jesus replied, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” (John 14:8-9.) Philip was present when Jesus sought to feed the multitude and exclaimed that “eight months wages would not buy enough bread for each to have a bite!” (John 6:7.) Symbol - a basket with bread and fish, the simple lunch with which Jesus fed the 5000. (John 6:8-13.)
14b St. Bartholomew, also called Nathaneal, was at first skeptical of the news brought by his friend Philip concerning Jesus. He questioned, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” but once he met Jesus, Bartholomew immediately acknowledged him as “the Son of God,” the “King of Israel.” (John 1:45-49.) Jesus first saw Bartholomew under a fig tree and perceived, “Here is a true Israelite in whom there is nothing false.” (John 1:47.) Bartholomew was also painfully martyred by flaying. Symbol - a branch of fig leaves and fruit.
15a St. Simon was from Cana, the scene of Christ’s first miracle. He was referred to as “the Zealot” because possibly, before following Jesus, he was one of the extremists who advocated the overthrow of Rome by force. (Matthew 10:4.) After Christ’s call, his singular zeal was directed toward spreading the Gospel as a companion of St. Jude (or Thaddaeus) on many missionary voyages. Western tradition holds that he was brutally martyred in Persia. Symbol - a fish on a hook, signifying that he was a great fisher of men by the power of the Gospel.
15b St. Jude, also known as Thaddaeus, was the companion of St. Simon the Zealot on many missionary voyages. After the Last Supper it was Jude who asked Our Lord why he chose to reveal himself only to the disciples. He received the reply: “If a man love me, he will keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.” (John 14:22-23.) Western tradition holds that he was martyred with Simon in Persia. Symbol - a boat with a sail.
16a St. Matthias was chosen by lot to take the place of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. (Acts 1:26.) He met the requirement agreed by the apostles that the new apostle be one of those who had followed Jesus from John’s baptism to the Ascension. (Acts 1:21-22.) Tradition states that Matthias spread the Gospel to the Greeks at Cappadocia and to the coast of the Caspian Sea. Often pictured with a lance, he is believed to have been martyred in southern Asia with such a weapon. Symbol - the thirty pieces of silver, given to Judas, spilling out of bag. (Matthew 26:15.)
16b St. Matthew is the traditional author of the Gospel of St. Matthew, the most comprehensive record of Jesus’ life. Before becoming an apostle of Jesus, Matthew was a tax collector, or publican. (Matthew 9:9.) After answering Jesus call to “follow me,” he hosted a dinner in his home so other tax collectors could meet Jesus. When Pharisees questioned why he ate with such sinners, Jesus responded, “They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” (Matthew 9:11-12.) Symbol - A winged man (the Evangelist) and three bags of money on a shield (the publican).
17a St. James the Greater was St. John’s elder brother. Because of their fiery, impetuous nature, Jesus called James and John the “Sons of Thunder.” (Mark 3:17.) With Peter, the three Galilean fishermen were the apostles closest to Jesus and the only ones present at the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9: 2-8) and chosen to watch with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26: 36-46). James was the first apostle to be martyred, beheaded in Jerusalem by order of King Herod Agrippa. (Acts 12:1-2.) It was believed that he was a missionary to Spain and that his followers took his remains and buried them near Santiago de Compostela, which became an early Christian pilgrimage site. Consequently, St. James became the patron saint of Spain and of pilgrims. Symbols - the pilgrim’s wallet and staff, pilgrim’s hat with the badge of the pilgrim, a scallop shell, attached.
17b St. John, author of the most spiritual of the four Gospels, was the apostle into whose care Jesus entrusted his mother. (John 19: 26-27.) He, with Peter and his elder brother, James, were the apostles closest to Jesus (Matthew 17:1-8; 26: 36-46; Mark 9: 2-8) , but only John remained with Jesus at the Cross (John 19: 26-27). In his Gospel, John refers to himself as “the apostle whom Jesus loved.” (John 13:23; 20:2; 21:7, 20.) John is the only apostle believed to have died of natural causes and at an advanced age. Once, his enemies attempted to kill John by poisoning the wine in his cup. Saint John blessed the wine and the poison slithered away in the form of a snake. Symbol - an eagle for his inspirational gospel and a chalice from which a serpent is emerging.
Right Clerestory Windows — Two Lancets
18a St. Stephen, a young deacon, became the first Christian martyr when he was accused of blasphemy by false witnesses and was stoned to death. He died praying for forgiveness for his murderers. (Acts 6:8 - 7:60.) The death was witnessed by Saul of Tarsus, later converted and known to us as St. Paul. (Acts 8:1.) Stephen is portrayed in a dalmatic, a deacon’s vestment. Symbols - stones, instruments of his martyrdom.
18b St. Paul, the once vigorous persecutor of Christians, was converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:1-19; 22:1-21; 26:1-23.) He became the great missionary disciple and author of the New Testament Epistles to encourage the young Christian churches. For example in his letter to the Ephesians, he exhorts the faithful to “put on the full armor of God,” .... “take up the shield of faith,” .... “take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:13-17.) Symbol - a sword and an open book on the pages of which is written “Spiritus Gladius,” sword of the spirit.
19a St. Mark, the Evangelist, and his family were converted to Christianity by St. Peter, and the youth might well have been with Peter at Gethsemane. It is speculated that Mark was the anonymous young man, who when seized by his garment, tore himself from it and fled naked away. (Mark 14:51-52.) Mark traveled with Peter (Col. 4:10) and was regarded as a son (1 Peter 5:13), giving him the opportunity to write his Gospel from Peter’s firsthand accounts. Tradition holds that after Peter’s death, Mark founded the church in Alexandria and was martyred there. St. Mark begins his Gospel with John the Baptist crying in the wilderness. Mark, once weak and unstable, by God’s grace was made strong. Symbol - the winged lion, the beast of the wilderness, exemplifying strength.
19b St. Luke, Evangelist and beloved physician, was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys. (Colossians 4:14.) His Gospel abounds with best-loved stories (the birth of Christ, the parables of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan) and poetry (the Magnificat and the Nunc Dimittis). Also the author of Acts, Luke gives us a historically accurate account of the spread of Christianity. Symbols - the winged ox, the beast of sacrifice, and the mortar and pestle of the physician.
20a Lois and Eunice, the grandmother and mother of Timothy, were Jewish converts to Christianity. St. Paul recalled their sincere faith and expressed confidence that it was shared by Timothy (II Timothy 1:5.) Symbol - scrolls in a jar.
20b St. Timothy traveled with Paul on his missionary journeys and was probably with Paul when the Apostle was imprisoned at Caesarea and then Rome. Timothy was himself imprisoned but then freed. According to tradition, he became the first Bishop of Ephesus. He was stoned to death there when he opposed the pagan festival in honor of Diana. Paul wrote two letters to Timothy, one written about 65 from Macedonia and the second from Rome while Paul was in prison awaiting his imminent execution (II Timothy 1:8). Symbol - a crozier, or bishop’s staff.
21a St. George, a 4th century Roman soldier, renowned for his courage, personally confronted the Emperor Diocletian for his persecution of Christians. Though tortured, he would not recant his Christian faith and was martyred. He is invariably portrayed with a dragon, representing Satan. Sometimes a rescued maiden, symbolizing the Christian Church, is also pictured. St. George, the patron saint of England, represents our English roots. He is also the patron saint of scouting. Symbol - a white shield with a red cross (the Cross of St. George) and a fleur-de-lis (Scouting).
21b St. Martin, a fourth century Roman soldier was sent as a young man to Gaul. On a bitterly cold day, Martin met a half-naked beggar. Having already given away all but the clothes on his back and his arms, but seeing no one else who would help the man, the young Martin drew his sword and halved his own cloak to clothe the shivering man. In his sleep, St. Martin saw Jesus Christ wearing the half-cloak he had given away. The vision inspired him to new ardor in the practice of his faith. Withdrawing from the military, he chose a monastic life, devoted to following the example of Christ. Eventually, he was persuaded to become Bishop of Tours, but he continued in his profound humility and austere life. His saint’s day is November 11; traditionally celebrated with a goose dinner. There is poetic justice to this tradition, considering the legend that geese betrayed him with their gabbling when St. Martin tried to hide in a stall and escape his appointment as bishop. Symbols - half his cloak and a goose.
22a St. Augustine of Hippo was born in present-day Algeria in 354. His mother, St. Monica, was a Christian. As a youth he was torn between the pleasures of adolescence and the rigors of philosophy. As he matured, he became an excellent scholar and orator and pursued a career as a lecturer, progressing from Africa, to Rome, and eventually to Milan, where he was captivated by the sermons of the highly influential Bishop Ambrose. Christianity appeared in a new, intellectual light; Augustine developed a sense of responsibility for the immorality of his way of life. Finally, at age 33, he was baptized. He returned to Africa, where because of his talent and devotion, he was virtually conscripted into the priesthood in Hippo. He became a formidable theologian and, in time, Bishop of Hippo. St. Augustine’s writings profoundly influenced Martin Luther and John Calvin. Symbol - a flaming heart pierced by arrows, emblematic of his intense zeal and devotion to Christ.
22b St. Augustine of Canterbury, the “Apostle of England,” was sent to the British Isles by Pope Gregory to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. When he arrived in 597 AD, he was warmly welcomed by King Ethelbert and his Christian wife, Queen Bertha. He was given an old church in Canterbury and permission to evangelize. Soon the king and much of his court had been baptized. There in Canterbury, the capital of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom, Augustine built the Cathedral of Christ Church and established it as the ecclesiastical center of England. St. Augustine wears his bishop’s cope and mitre. Symbols - a crown above a font.
23a St. Francis of Assisi, born to an affluent family in the late twelfth century, lived a dissolute life until at 25, he had a dream in which God called him to change his direction. He renounced all wealth, possessions and his former way of life. A man of happy disposition and a natural leader, he soon attracted followers from all walks of life to the Franciscan Brotherhood. Their simple rule was to live by the Gospel. Throughout his life Francis practiced true equality by showing honor, respect and love to every person. Moreover, he regarded all of God’s creation–birds and animals–as part of his brotherhood. Legends of St. Francis abound: Once he preached to hundreds of birds who stood still, flying off only when he said they could leave. Late in his life, St. Francis had a mystical vision of a six-winged seraph when he received the marks of the passion of Christ in his body. He is the patron saint of ecologists and merchants. Symbols – six-winged cherub.
23b Blessed Julian of Norwich was an English mystic who lived in prayer and contemplation as a hermitess. As a young woman in 1371, she was near death when she experienced a series of sixteen visions stressing the power of God’s eternal, all embracing love. She immediately recovered and recorded her visions. Revelations of Divine Love, completed in 1393, is an expression of mystical fervor that has been a lasting influence on theologians. Popular with modernists, she characterized the Trinity as Father, Mother and Lord. Symbol - a cat.
24a Bishop Samuel Seabury, the first bishop of the American Episcopal Church, was chosen by a group of clergy. Following the American Revolution, the Episcopal Church in the United States had no bishop. English bishops were forbidden by law to consecrate anyone who would not take an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. Therefore, Samuel Seabury turned to the Church of Scotland and was consecrated in Aberdeen in 1784. Thus, he became a part of the unbroken chain of bishops that links the Episcopal Church today with the Church of the Apostles. Symbol - the Seal of the Episcopal Church in the United States.
24b Bishop
Alexander Gregg, the first Bishop of Texas, was elected in 1859 and
consecrated at the Episcopal General Convention in Richmond, Virginia.
At that time, Texas was still a wilderness with a scattered population
and few Episcopalians. The new bishop’s field was the entire state,
and his work was that of a missionary and pioneer. Symbols - an American
flag and the Christian Church flag remind us of God’s hand in the
birth of our republic and the divine destiny for America to accomplish
His purpose.
North Façade Angel Windows
25a The Angel Raphael, meaning “God is My Health,” disguised as a young man, this healing angel in the apocrypha brought sight and comfort to Tobit and his daughter-in-law, Sarah. He admonishes us to return to God with acts of charity to our neighbors. (Tobit 3:17 and 12:15.) Although not mentioned outside the apocrypha in the Christian Bible, tradition has credited Raphael with teaching Noah how to build the ark. He is shown carrying a fish and holding a pilgrim’s staff with a wallet hanging on the top.
25b The Angel Uriel, meaning “God is My Light,” is not named in the Bible, but he is one of the Archangels of rabbinical literature, an interpreter of prophesy. He appeared in a vision to Esdras (Apocrypha 2 Esdras 4:1). In Christian tradition his name has been given to the angel who guarded Jesus’ tomb and described in Matthew 28:3: “His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.” He is also credited with warning Noah of the coming flood, wrestling with Jacob (see Window 6a) and helping bury Adam and Abel in Paradise. The Angel Uriel is associated with absolute righteousness and repentance. He has been celebrated in Haydn’s oratory, Creation, and in poetry as Regent of the Sun and a warrior against Satan in Milton’s Paradise Lost.”
26a The Angel Gabriel, meaning “God is My Strength,” has been God’s envoy to mankind, His revealing messenger. He appeared to the prophet Daniel to explain the prophet’s visions relating to the Messiah and the destruction of the Temple (Daniel 8:16-26; 9:21ff); he announced to Zacharias and Elizabeth the coming of their son, John the Baptist. Most importantly he came to Mary to herald the news that she had been chosen to bear the Savior (Luke 1:25-38). He stands at the left side of the window, holding the lilies which are symbolic of Annunciation and the purity of the birth of Christ.
26b The Angel Michael, meaning “Who is Like God,” is the prince of the heavenly hosts. He is the special guardian of the affairs of God’s people (Daniel 10:11-21, 12:1; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7). The warrior archangel defends the souls of humankind. He is shown in full armor -symbolic of his previous battles and his preparation to fight the next. Carrying the scales of justice, the Archangel Michael is ready to weigh the souls of men and women on Judgment Day.
