THE ROSE - Stained Glass Window by Harry Clarke

 

The circle represents harmony and balance. Christ, represented by the Lamb of God, is at the centre with the Greek letters, Alpha (the beginning) and Omega (the end), on either side. Around this is a perfectly balanced arrangement of pictures, symbols and images from Sacred Scripture – the Cross, the pierced hands and feet, the Sacred Heart, the grapes. These are connected to the centre like the spokes of a wheel.

The window has four main points representing the earth, with its four corners, four winds and four seasons. These are all centred on Christ. It also has two sets of sixteen lesser points and thirty-two smaller points, representing Heaven and Earth, all centred on Christ.
