The Lord is My Shepherd ... The Sealing of the Twelve Tribes |
The
Lord is My Shepherd The
Lord is My Shepherd, in the same chapel as The
Sealing of the Twelve Tribes, is LaFarge's portrayal of the 23rd
Psalm. The Lord with a shepherd's staff leads a woman "beside the
still waters." The window was restored in 1975 in memory of Elbridge Gerry Spaulding. Five details below: The Lord is My Shepherd detail #1 The Lord is My Shepherd detail #2 The Lord is My Shepherd detail #3 The Lord is My Shepherd detail #4 The Lord is My Shepherd detail #5 |
The
Sealing of the Twelve Tribes The
church is well known for its
incredible collection of stained glass windows by John LaFarge,
Louis
Comfort Tiffany and others. Of particular note are the five windows
of the apse by LaFarge and his window titled The
Sealing of the Twelve
Tribes, the topic of which is drawn from Revelations
7. (Charlotte Sherman
Watson also commissioned another LaFarge window, Noli Me Tangere, that is found in the apse of the
church.) Six
