Te Deum: Christ Enthroned
#59
This magnificent window, designed by Frederick Wilson (1858-1932) of Tiffany Studios, is comprised of forty-one panels of opalescent and favrile glass. Due to the complexity and size of the window, it was proclaimed to be one of the most “famous windows of this country” (Christian Advocate: 1899). Originally titled, “Te-Deum,” Latin for “We praise, Thee O’God,” it is only fitting to find Christ seated at the throne. Cherubs and Biblical figures decorate the entire window, as all figures are facing Christ in the center. Coincidentally, we find a baby holding a ribbon labeled “Herod”, significant of King Herod’s decree to kill all infants in Bethlehem when he heard a baby was born that would become the King of Jews. This window was dedicated in 1899 to Townsend Young by his wife, Maria Lawrence Young at United Methodist Church, Ossining, New York.

Religion Enthroned
#70
Religion Enthroned is one of two replicas within the entire stained-glass window collection. The original by J. & R. Lamb Studios was commissioned in 1900 by the U.S. Government for the Central U.S. Pavilion in the 1900 L’Exposition Universelle Internationale in Paris, which won two medals: one in execution and the second in design. In the center, a female figure sits on a throne. Behind the seated figure are two angels: Michael, holding a sword, and Gabriel, holding the apostolic double cross. The woman is emblematic of religion and the two archangels are the representatives of the Church Militant (Michael) and the Church Triumphant (Gabriel). Encapsulating the three figures is the Tree of life, symbolizing immortality, the source of eternal life.
