The Baptism of Christ

#36

The window is showing how John the Baptist is baptizing Jesus at the Jordan river. This scene is very important, as it was when heaven opened and the holy spirit descended on Jesus and Gods voice was heard "This is my own dear son with whom I am pleased". This confirmed Jesus' identity as Gods son.

Parable of The Sower

#48

This scene shows the Parable of the Sower, a story that provides a moral lesson as taught by Jesus, and can be found in the Bible, Matthew 13:1. This tale warns people to heed the words of heaven, and describes the people who fail to do so as different seeds being planted by the Sower. The people who do not accept the word in their hearts and forget it are described as seeds in rocky soil that cannot grow beyond the rocks and wilt. The people who accept the word but care too much about wealth will be trapped in this turmoil and unable to grow, like the seeds that cannot grow past the thorny plants around them. The people who do take the word and understand it are like seeds that grow and produce crop in abundance.

Christ Knocking on the Door

#52

Taking a page out of Cox, Sons, Buckley & Co.’s version of I am the Light of the World, Tiffany was influenced by this scene that he wanted to recreate this biblical narrative. The museum has both representations of this scene within the pictorial and American glass style for viewers to enjoy the differences. Tiffany creates a halo over Jesus’ head, which looks more like a full moon. His use of speckled glass gives a lifelike feel to the leaves on the trees. This window was commemorated to the “Pastor of this Church” (First Congregational Church), which is only fitting concerning the scene portrayed. The opalescent glass gives definition to Jesus’ cloak that looks rather transparent as if Jesus’ is a vision knocking on your door.

Saint Luke, also known as Luke the Evangelist, is one of the four traditionally ascribed authors of the Christian gospel, shown here to be writing down the scriptures with a quill and book. Luke was the first artist to draw icons, religious artworks, and most notably painted the Virgin Mary and child Jesus. In the Catholic tradition, he is also known as the patron saint of artists, physicians, and notaries.
