Description

Designed to attract attention to the new sanctuary,especially when lighted from within, the enormous windows of colored, faceted glass on the west side of St. Luke's sanctuary draw interest from those who pass by the church from a distance on State Road 426. But when examined more closely,from the interior, the rich symbolism of the Christian faith becomes apparent.Centrally located, the round Trinity Rose window contains images depicting all three Persons of the Holy Trinity. Each of the six remaining pentagonal windows contains a yellow letter, sequentially spelling out the Hebrew name of God:YAHWEH. Additional, each of those windows conveys images depicting one of Jesus' own "I AM" statements, from the Gospel of St. John. These richly abstract images seem to offer fresh insights each time they are viewed.
