SECOND TRINITY WINDOW INSTALLED

The second of three planned stained glass windows was installed this winter in Trinity Chapel. The windows each represent an aspect of the Trinity. “Father” was installed earlier this year. The second window represents Christ.

Designer Jeff Schmitz said he used the existing structure of the window to construct his view of Christ on the cross as seen from the back.

“We observe the crucifixion from behind the cross, symbolically showing Christ turning his back on death — the cross — and his face turned outward to the world — the campus and beyond,” Schmitz said of the window’s design. “The Roman arch or bell cover-shaped nimbus surrounding Christ can be seen as an extension of his halo and brings to mind an inner sanctum or greater holiness.”
