The windows in our north wall depict major events in Jesus' life.
|
 |
|
| The Nativity |
|
"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7)"
At the top of the window, Joseph leads Mary and the holy infant to Egypt, fleeing the threat of Herod.
|
|
| The Triumphal Entry |
|
"When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, 'Who is this?' The crowds were saying, 'This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.'" (Mat 21:10-11)
The top picture depicts that the crowds' words turned from "Hosanna!" to "Crucify" in less that a week's time.

|
| In the Temple |
|
"After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers." (Luke 2:46-47)
At the top, Jesus is depicted working with his father, a carpenter.

|
| The Crucifixion |
|
"Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee." (Mat 27:55-56)
Jesus is shown before Pilate in the small vignette at top. | | |
