Baptism

  • Water falls from the Holy Spirit--The Dove,
  • onto an eight sided representation of a baptismal font.

  • Eight representing regeneration and rebirth.

Confirmation

  • The Holy Spirit in the form of a dove as tongues of fire--
  • the flames of renewal.

  • This window represents the gifts received
  • by being confirmed in the Spirit.

Eucharist

Christ is symbolized by the Chi Rho, and his sacrifice for the atonement of the sins of the world by the wounded lamb.

In Eucharist the wheat, host, and chalice represent the

sacrifice of body and blood.

Reconciliation

The dove holding the olive branch symbolizing the covenant

between God and Noah meant to convey peace and forgiveness.

The sun represents Jesus as the Light of the World.
