Stand Fast in the Faith. Be Strong

23. On the left side of the Nave. "Faith"

This striking window was made between 1900 & 1910 by Maitland Armstrong, a student and associate of Louis Tiffany. Armstrong used his wife as the model for the face of the angel. The soft pastel colors of this window contrast with the traditional brighter stained glass found in most of the other windows.

The citation in the upper panel reads: "This is the victory that overcometh the world. Faith. Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through Our Lord Jesus Christ."

"Fides," Latin for faith, is seen in the halo around the angel's head. The window was dedicated on April 16, 1916.
