Our Stained Glass Windows - Immaculate Conception

OUR STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CHAPEL

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

This was the third window installed in our Chapel. It was donated by Margie & Bill Dixon in honor of the Immaculate Conception and in loving memory of the Dixon & Hildebrand Families.

The center image of the Immaculate Conception

The title of Immaculate Conception means that the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose conception was brought about in the normal way, was conceived without original sin. Immaculate means without stain. Mary was preserved from these defects by God's grace, from the first instant of her existence she was in the state of sanctifying grace and was totally free from original sin.

The words of Our Lady of Lourdes to St. Bernadette.
At the request of her priest, St. Bernadette asked "Would you be so kind as to tell me who you are? The answer finally came.... "I am the Immaculate Conception." -- " Que soy era Immaculada Councepciou."
Bernadette ran home, repeating these strange words over and over so that she would not forget them.
The Church had declared that the Blessed Virgin Mary was the "Immaculate Conception" only four years earlier in 1854, and the title would have been totally unknown to St. Bernadette as she could not read or write and was only learning her catechism to prepare for her First Holy Communion.

The whiteness and the beauty of the Lily is a symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary's purity.

All of the new Stained Glass window have emblems of New York City, starting with the image of the Chrysler Building at the top. The Chrysler Building is one of the best know and classic example of Art Deco skyscrapers in New York City. It was the world's tallest building for 11 months until that title was claimed by the Empire State Building in 1931.

All of the new Stained Glass window have emblems of New York City, slightly below the image of the Chrysler Building, we find the Empire State Building behind a church spire on both the left and right sides of the window. The Empire State Building is one of the best know buildings in New York City. An Art Deco skyscraper, it stood as the world's tallest building for over forty years. It has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. It is especially known for it's lights and King Kong.

In loving memory of Maureen .....

The remainder of the images are of the people of Park Slope.....
