The All Saints Episcopal Church window is beautiful. This mandala incorporates lesser known Christian Symbols. Careful research went into the creation of this window.
The line drawing I’ve included shows the overall structure of the window. There are twelve symbols around a central symbol. The outer twelve symbols often refer to legendary events. (I will expand on this in future posts.) These symbols are used correctly and allow me to read the story embedded in the window.
At a high level, the twelve symbols at the outer radius of the window are for each of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. In the center of the window is the Cup of Christ.
In part 3, we focus on the Cup of Christ.
