Stained Glass Windows at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

Psalms and Parables

St. Andrew's is blessed to have plentiful examples of the art of religious stained glass in the sanctuary and elsewhere on the church campus. Some of the windows are narrative in their presentation and often accompanied by explanatory plaques. Most of the windows were donated as memorials to parishioners. On the clerestory (upper) level of the sanctuary there are two series of interpretative windows based on 18 psalms (east side) and 18 parables (west side). These windows offer opportunities for Christian reflection when their designs are juxtaposed with the source texts. Please note that these two presentations each include over 3MB of photographs and may take additonal time to load into the web browser.
