GALLERY of STAINED GLASS ART

Feature V
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Pawling, NY
Christ the High Priest
Located above the altar and facing south, this 3-panel window is punctuated by various Christian icons in the upper sections of each panel. The symbols for the Four Evangelists are pictured on either side of Christ: St. Matthew above St. Mark on the left, and St. Luke above St. John on the right.
Above and below: detail cutouts of The Four Evangelists, here with Sts. Matthew and Mark above and Sts. Luke and John below. Placing the cursor anywhere on the image and clicking the plus sign in the lower right corner yields a higher magnification.
The Rose Window Located in the gallery and facing north, the Rose Window is five feet in diameter.
The Annunciation and The Holy Family These two windows are on either side of the entrance to the church. A stairway up to the gallery obscures the upper right corner of The Holy Family window, making it necessary to borrow material from The Annunciation window.
The Brick Gothic structure was built in 1938. Pawling is a small, rural town in eastern Dutchess County. The church is in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood.
The church has six 2-panel windows, three on each side. With the exception of Jesus Blessing the Children, each of them depicts two separate but related scenes.
Jesus Blessing the Children
St. Joseph the Carpenter and The Finding in the Temple
The Garden of Eden and Noah's Ark
The Sacraments of Confirmation and Baptism
The Woman at the Well and The Good Samaritan
St. Peter
The remaining images on this page, with the exception of the red cross on the entrance door, are detail cutouts from several of the windows pictured above. They may be viewed in the center of the screen, and in most cases at higher magnification, by placing the cursor anywhere on the image and clicking the plus sign in the lower right corner.
