14. Above the Altar in St. Peter's Chapel, in the left Transept. "Cornelius and the Angel"
A signed Tiffany window, made in the early 1900s showing Cornelius and an angel. This large window illustrates Tiffany's skill in using color and glass to produce a work of art.
Cornelius was a Roman Centurion of Caesarea who was instructed in a vision to have Peter brought to the city. When Peter arrived he found a gathering of Gentiles, who were later converted and baptized, the first Gentiles converted through Peter's efforts. (Acts X:IV).
This window was given as a general thank offering by J. H. Hewson in 1905.
