The Windows of Our Redeemer

A spontaneous movement began in 1942 to beautify our house of worship in gratitude to God for the blessings enjoyed by Our Redeemer in its first quarter of a century. Within three years seven stained glass windows, rich in design and color, were installed as gifts to Our Redeemer by a number of generous donors. Mr. George Seele, Jr. of St. Louis executed the windows.

Inspired by the Biblical accounts of six events in the life of Christ, Mr. Seele produced beautiful windows depicting "The Nativity," "The Boy Jesus in the Temple," "Christ in Gethsemane," "The Crucifixion," "The Resurrection" and "The Ascension."

A window depicting the injunction to "Preach the Word" featured St. Paul and Martin Luther.  Originally in the sacristy, these two panels were moved to the office entrance. The window of Martin Luther is shown at the left. St. Paul is on the right.

Honor and majesty are before Him, strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
