The majority of the stained glass windows at St. Philip's were made using the "painting" process but they are referred to as "stained" because the word is commonly used and understood to refer to colored church windows.
The windows were crafted by the Ford Glass Company of Minneapolis. The glass is from England, hand poured from pots and contains tiny air bubbles which give it a brilliance in the sun. The colors are mostly from virtreous enamels painted onto the glass then fired. The leading is typically connected with the outlines of the figures and objects. The figures and designs are thought to be derived from pictures painted by Italian artists of the 16th and 17th centuries.
These pictures are just a sample of the many stunning windows that grace our beautiful church. For more information or a complete tour feel free to visit us (the Directions option above will show you how to find us) to pick up a brochure or to ask our service ushers/greeters for more information.
