SAINT JOHN WINDOW

The last nave window, like the gospel, is profound and spiritual, with a focus on Saint John's signs of Christ's divinity, shown in the large medallions. Secondary themes in the small medallions are the Good Shepherd and God as Spirit. The top details, lattice background and borders are the same as those of the Saint Mark window. Small medallions in the left lancet feature the Good Shepherd, and those in the right lancet feature Jesus' ministry and have the theme of God as Spirit (S.John IV.24). Through the base of the window is the phrase, "I am the way, the truth/ and the life" (S.John XIV.6).

THE GOSPEL WINDOWS
The four windows of the Chapel of Grace nave depict scenes from the life, ministry and teaching of Jesus Christ as recorded by the four evangelists, with their specific thematic emphases. In the base of each window are words of Jesus summarizing the window theme. Symbols of the evangelists are in the top quatrefoils, with their emblems in the paired lancet tops. Christ is recognizable throughout by his three-rayed halo (tri-nimbus) as the Son in the Holy Trinity and (in most images) his ruby red cloak and aqua blue robe.
