Galleries and Choir Loft - First Presbyterian Church
One Symphony Circle, Buffalo, NY

The stained glass window is an excellent example of Louis Comfort Tiffany's use of color and favrille glass to create a mosaic effect. Another description of the glass is opalescent, which Tiffany and John LaFarge developed while working in close-by studios.  The use of many nuggets  and jewels is especially effective .  The rich combination of blue, deep red, yellow, and gold, is particularly beautiful in the late afternoon. 

Tiffany's signature can be seen in the bottom right hand comer of the second lancet from the right.

The window was erected in 1925.
