The Crucifixion

Picture
In loving memory of Louis Henry and Fanny Stone Cary

This highly stylized window shows a serene figure of Christ hanging from a rough wooden cross. He is looking down, a posture which is said to symbolize forgiveness for the repentant sinner at the foot of the cross. The narrow shape of the window allows for only two other figures in the scene. To the left is Mary the mother of Jesus, and to the right St. John the Evangelist, recalling the moment when Jesus gave his mother into the care of his disciple (John 19:23-24). They also represent the old dispensation (Old Testament) and the new (New Testament). Mary wears her traditional colors of blue and white over a red robe. St. John wears a red cloak (the color of sacrifice) over a robe of green, a color which represents everlasting life.

An interesting feature of the window is the representation of a stylized moon on the left and sun on the right, above the heads of St. Mary and St. John. These remind us of the darkness, possibly an eclipse, which came over the whole land from the sixth to the ninth hour.
