The windows were designed based on themes from the New Testament with scenes referencing the role of Mary in the life of Jesus. Massive cream-colored columns rise from the richly tiled floor. Four smaller stained glass windows are arrayed across the back of the sanctuary. The windows have a powerful impact upon the viewer. The Annunciation is rich with intricate detail, with both angel and dove represented.
Emotion is strong in The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth .
The two holy women speak, their faces lit by God's love and beneficence. The robes in this window have particularly beautiful draping and detailing. The Birth of Jesus lacks the brilliant blue and red impact of some of the windows. Instead, rich velvety tones in umber are used to bring out the animal warmth of the stable. You imagine the hot breath of the inhabitants making steam in the cold night air.
