Four Baptistry Windows

Andre and Paul Rault, Rennes, France

circa 1958

Originally created for a Baptistry elsewhere in the cathedral, these panels on the theme of water are now installed at a side altar. The four panels show: a gorge with waterfall; an ecological image of water circulated by the sun's warmth; Noah's Ark with a dove; and two deer drinking at a clear stream, mentioned in the Psalms.
