St Elizabeth's Episcopal Church
Stained Glass at St. Elizabeth's
In 1904, the children of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Procter gave the Tiffany glass window to St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church in memory of their mother, Mrs. Charlotte Elizabeth Procter. The window was originally designed for the original St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church which stood adjacent to the current church building on the same property. The original church was consecrated in 1905.The stained glass window stood above the altar of the original church. This pre-eminent position was retained when the stained galss windows were removed and installed in the present church.The window is composed of multi-colored glass panels set in a Romanesque arch, the large center arched panel depicting St. Elizabeth standing behind Jesus and St. John. The boy Jesus is standing on the left, holding a dove. St. John is seated on the right, holding a staff. On the bottom, the inscription reads: In memory of Charlotte Elizabeth Procter, March 26, 1903.The project of installing stained glass windows in the clerestory, chapel and nave of the church was initiated by Richard C. Ching, the Junior Warden in 1976-1977. The symbolic designs represent the vocations of some of the prophets and the apostles.These windows were designed and constructed by the Judson Studios of Los Angeles and are examples of the best in twentieth-century faceted colored glass
