FULL SIZE WINDOW 5' X 9'
The 2nd of the two tall windows. If you go in the church, you will see there is room for one more, on each side wall. We were told the two missing ones were so badly vandalized that they were not repairable. NOTE--In the next four pictures, you will see a close up of the main part of these four windows with a story about each of the scenes depicted. Posted by Picasa
