When you enter the nave from the narthex, you see ahead of you a beautiful slender window on the east chancel wall. It depicts the life of Christ in a series of 15 medallions and is topped by the trefoil with the traditional symbols of the Trinity – the hand of God, the Lamb of God, and the Dove – grouped about the Bible. The other two chancel windows also show scenes from Christ’s life.
The stained glass of the clerestory follows a plan. The windows on the north wall depict Biblical scenes from the creation to the promise of the Messiah. The windows on the south show the Holy Spirit’s influence from the acts of the apostles to the dream of a new world. At the west end of the nave is a large rose window called the Te Deum Window. It portrays Christ enthroned and surrounded by kings, saints, angels, martyrs and prophets.
Over the north transept balcony is the Old Testament Window; on the opposite transept wall is the Apostolic Window. Along the aisles are six small stained glass pictures of the various miracles of our Lord. All these stained glass windows were designed and executed by the Judson Studios of Los Angeles.
