Appearing in the top left-hand corner of
the stained glass window is the Dove, expressing innocence
and purity. Signifying the Holy Spirit and the presence of
God as hovering over the water at Creation and above Jesus
at his Baptism.
In the top right-hand corner is an olive branch.
A symbol for peace, harmony and healing.
In the bottom left hand corner I have painted
an ancient ship, symbolizing the church as a place where the voyagers
of faith can gather and sail over the rough areas of life
to the good destination God has for them.
In the bottom right corner I have depicted the
nails driven through the palms and feet of Jesus at his crucifixion.
These are the symbols of the poignancy of His physical suffering.
The Christian symbol of the fish can be seen
at the base of the triquetra and there is a cross in the centre
of the window picked out in a heavier lead.
The red stained glass signifies the blood of Christ, life
and later on meaning sacrifice. Yellow stained glass symbolizes
energy and green stained glass is associated with growth and
light blue with hope.
