Covenant Presbyterian Church's collection of nineteen stained glass windows includes the work of renowned artists Louis Comfort Tiffany, John La Farge, Henry Lee Willet, and Nicola D'Ascenzo. During the last century, the beauty and inspirational effect of the cathedral that houses Covenant has been enhanced by the addition of stained glass windows. It took 60 years to complete the windows around the nave as a panorama of the earthly life of Jesus. Seeing these differences in styles presents an opportunity to observe the changes in content, technique, and imagery in the art of stained glass. Most importantly, it allows visitors to see how the designs successfully combine ancient symbolism with more modern imagery to portray some of the outstanding characters and incidents of the Bible.
