Advent Window - St. Bridget's Church



This is another of the twelve stained glass windows, each representing an event from the liturgical calendar.

I thought I would post this photo since it's appropriate for the current season.This description from church documents: 

"The ruins indicate darkness and desolation on earth before the birth of Christ; humanity longs for salvation. The Greek letters in a radiating sun, surrounded by brilliant rays, indicate the words, "Life and Light" symbolizing the Messianic Promise, and indicate that new life through the heralded birth of Christ is to be brought to mankind."
