Stained Glass Art

As mentioned yesterday, here are most of the remaining stained glass windows inside St. Peter's. The church is listed as an Evangelical Lutheran church- that question came up in the previous post. St. Peters has over a century of history, dating back to 1910 as a congregation. The first church was built a few blocks from here on Lyon (and has a curious repurposing today as a salon-spa). The present church on Cathedral Hill dates back to 1954, and is done in an English Gothic style.

    That's quite funny about the first church being re-purposed as a salon-spa.

    Wonder who made the windows. Wonder if they were made with BLENKO glass.

    @Linda: you're welcome.

    @Halcyon: the glasswork was beautifully done.

    @Parsnip: thank you!

    @Tomas: thanks!

    @VP: so do I.

    @Dina: I keep meaning to photograph it.

    @Dianne: it tends to be tricky photographing stained glass, but this time it worked.

    @Jan: I certainly think so.

    @Lowell: it really does!

    @Marianne: they are.

  22. William KendallJune 24, 2015 at 10:26 AM

    @Revrunner: I'll definitely have to photograph it.

    @Tamago: yes, they're well cared for, obviously.

    @Gill: so am I.

    @Furry Gnome: they would be more modern, since the church isn't that old, and they do have themes to them, such as the music window.

    @Tex: definitely.

    @Birdman: the church I attended growing up didn't have these at all.

    @Janis: I've never heard of Blenko glass!

    @Olivier: thank you!

    @Sharon: I think so too.

    @Red: mine too.
