O Holy Trinity Window

Andre Rault, Rennes, France

1963


Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

-God's Grandeur, Gerard Manley Hopkins

This spectacular expression of the Holy Trinity is dominated by an enormous dove representing the Holy Spirit. The jewelled crown above the bird represents God the Father. The Bible and Crozier represent Christ.
