An Hourglass, a Flaming Heart and a Chalice with Host

Rault, France

circa 1978

The panels illustrate Christian themes like eternity, God's love, and the bodily presence of Christ.

The panel of Christ's Sacred Heart is perhaps the most successful element of the entire suite of windows. The lower panel depicts the letters, "IHS," also known as the "Christogram:" Greek letters commonly used as an abbreviation for Jesus Christ.
