CPC Stained Glass Windows
One of the unique gifts the Christian church has given to the world is the art of stained glass. When this art form was begun during the Middle Ages, most of the believers in the church were illiterate. It was through the art work in the stained glass windows of the early gothic cathedrals that medieval Christians learned the stories of the Bible and were strengthened in the faith.
The windows of Central Presbyterian Church are the work of four different stained glass studios. The Christmas Window and The Easter Window on the upper level and The Angel with the Lighted Lamp and Bible on the lower level in the sanctuary are by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Christ Blessing the Children in the upper level and Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler in the lower level of the sanctuary are works of the Lamb Studios of Philmont, NY. The upper level windows Baptism of Jesus, The Last Supper and The Sermon on the Mount in the sanctuary are the work of a Belgian firm. All the other windows in the sanctuary and chapel, are by the Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia, PA.
