Story in the Glass

This window depicts Saint Agnes.  She is venerated for steadfastly honoring her vow of virginity in the face of torture and ultimately martyrdom, in Rome early in the fourth century.  On her feast day, the lambs are blessed whose wool is woven into the pallium given to Archbishops.  Her feast day is January 21.

Come, bride of Christ, and receive the crown which has been prepared for you for ever.

Story of the Glass

This window was created around 1880, probably manufactured by a German studio.  It was the gift of the Yopung Ladies Sodality.

The window is located in the south nave.
