"I Will Give Thee a Crown of Life" Memorial Window

McCausland, Toronto

1919

An elaborate depiction of a glorious pink Angel giving a Crown of Life to an Everyman in armour, representing the dead young soldiers of the "War to End All Wars".

Perhaps the scene was soothing to those whose sons had died. It's hard to imagine how this subject might be applied to the present war in Afghanistan, nearly a century later.
