Two Front Windows

The windows that remained behind the stairs to the gallery on the west end, under a close examination, are revealed to not be entirely abstract. One has an image of wheat in the center and alludes to the communion bread (south). And the other a stylized ox that represents St. Luke (north). Sources: Trinity Episcopal Church

Historical Context

The oldest stained glass windows in the Trinity Church Natchez are abstract "pattern glass." These windows can be found in the sides of the apse, behind the gallery stairs, and above the front doors. It is likely that the in the earl 1800's, the entire classically-designed nave was illuminated with colored pattern glasss windows like the ones that remain before being replaced with the post Civil War products and artistry. Evaluated by the Pearl River Glass Studio in 2007. Sources: PRGS Archive, Trinity Episcopal Church
