The
Rose Window above the altar is a masterpiece of stained glass
craftsmanship, designed and executed by the Henry Hunt Studios of
Pittsburgh. It depicts, through the use of hundreds of
ecclesiastical symbols, the words contained in Revelation 5:12:
". . . Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive Power,
and Riches, and Wisdom, and Strength, and Honor, and Glory, and
Blessing." The seven attributes of the Lamb are
shown in seven sections of the window. The Lamb, symbol of
the Supreme Sacrifice of Christ for the sins of all people,
occupies the center of the window. |
When originally donated,
the
Rose Window was installed above the altar at St.Timothy
Lutheran Church on Ohio Street, South Charleston, WV.
In 2004, when the new facility was built , the magnificent window was removed and installed
as the central focus in the middle of the cross above the altar on Lawndale Lane,
Charleston, WV. |
