SMM Stained Glass Windows

Window #11
Mary, Mother of the Church

Mary wraps the assemblies of the faithful gathered in their churches within the folds of her mantle as she gazes lovingly upon them.  She enfolds the churches of both East and West.

She is clothed with the sun, and the moon is beneath her feet.  The stars are scattered in our portrayal rather than clustered, and her robe seems to glow from the sun in the lower portion of the window.

Within the crescent of the moon, we have the lifegiving waters of baptism into which is immersed the cross, the source of their life.
