Here in the new year it is soothing and healthy to focus on light, color, and music. All of the above can be found at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, in the stained glass window behind the choir area, near the door to the columbarium. Like several other of the church windows, this one is divided into three panels, each highlighting various symbols of religious worship. All three panels in the Choir Window depict musical images: the top panel contains a horn, a cymbal and in the... background, possibly a triangle; the middle panel shows an angel with a scroll of music; the bottom panel contains a harp/lyre, and a small Star of David, suggesting a link to the Old Testament and the Church’s roots in Judaism. Incorporated into the window are the Greek letters for Alpha and Omega, signifying that God is the beginning and the end. The window was dedicated in 1984 to the Episcopal Church Women, present and past, as well as to Phyllis Smith by her husband Payson. Set into a wall that is only a few yards from the building next door, it doesn’t get much natural light but when the lights in the church are lit, the Choir Window glows with reminders that God and music are always with us! When the church opens to the public again, please stop by to view this lovely window and all the other windows in the church. As always, it is best enjoyed during a Sunday service! See more
