The Cry Room (First of 2)
Flight into Egypt
This window portrays Mary and Joseph escaping to Egypt with the Child Jesus because of Herod threatening the death of all male children in the area of Bethlehem after Jesus is born there. As the child, now a little older, entertains Himself, Joseph cares for the donkey and Mary prepares a meal in the likeness of a modern camping experience. The window thus shows the care of God for the Child despite the threat to His life.
Jesus Blesses the Children
This window portrays Jesus blessing the children brought to Him by their parents despite the objections of the apostles. His words - "Let the children come to me and forbid them not" - apply to children of all time. Jesus further uses these children as an example of reliance and humility for all who belong to the Kingdom of God.
