Story in the Glass

The Rose Window shows King David with his harp.  Music accompanied Jewish worship and celebrations.   King David was both poet and musician.  As an example, his music calmed the soul of King Saul (1 Sam16:14-23).  So great was David's reputation as a hymn-writer that many of the Psalms were attributed to him.  Christ himself attributes Psalm 109 to him.  David's lyre is an instrument that dates from at least 2400 B.C.

Story of the Glass

This window was created in 1880, probably manufactured by a German studio with Thomas and John Morgan.

The window is located over the organ.
