Crucifixion as Depicted by A Child

Melissa Klingelhofer, Design; Barry Fry, Regina, Execution

circa 1990

The church asked a number of children to draw Jesus' crucifixion for a planned stained glass window. This wonderful composition was the result. A professional stained glass maker executed the actual window. A rainbow, the moon in a starry sky, flowers and fish and a radiant baby Jesus: this is one child's version of Christ's Crucifixion. The crucified Christ is also a child.
