The Apostolic Church
This window depicts the experiences of the early church as recorded in the Book of Acts.
The left section portrays the day of Pentecost with the Holy Spirit descending upon the church as tongues of fire thereby empowering the disciples to witness unto Christ. At the bottom is the vision of St. Peter of unclean animals leading the church to realize that the gospel was for Gentile as well as Jew.
Portrayed above in the center section is the stoning of St. Stephen. Underneath this is the Conversion of St. Paul, with Christ saying to him - "Why persecutest thou me?" At the bottom is the sword and book that is the traditional symbol of Paul the Apostle.
The right section is a portrayal of Paul preaching at Athens. The building
with its pillars represents the Grecian city. In the lower part, the apostle
is depicted as writing his epistles in prison near the end of his life.
