OUR STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CHAPEL

OUR LADY OF SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS

This was the First Window installed in our Chapel. It was dedicated in honor of Our Lady and donated in memory of Barbara Mastej by the Olechowski Family.

The center image of our Blessed Mother holding the Child Jesus.

Our Lady watching over the child Jesus and the church.
Jesus is only a few years old and is shown as the Christ Child and as King. His gown is covered in Fleur-de-lis. Fleur-de-lis is French for Flower of the Lily. It is both a symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Trinity. The three petals indicate the Holy Trinity, with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. Tradition indicates that without Mary you can not understand the Holy Trinity since it was Mary who bore the Son.
Jesus is raising is right arm in blessing and hold the scepter (a symbolic 0rnmental staff held by a ruling monarch) in his left hand.
The Nimbus (halo) around Jesus' head contains the cross, which signifies our redemption through the cross.
The Blessed Mother also has a halo indicating her life of virtue and grace and the light emanating from God through Mary..

The beautiful church of Saint Thomas Aquinas from which we have shared the beauty of our Catholic Faith with the Park Slope community for over 125 years.

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.
