Description
A full vertical interior photograph capturing the multi-panel "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window installed above the choir loft, centered within the rear fieldstone wall.
The image features:
* Eucharistic Iconography: The central composition highlights a prominent white glass chalice and Host, inscribed with the Christogram "IHS." Radiating outward from the chalice are golden beams of light and wheat motifs, symbolizing the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Eucharist.
* Multi-Panel Grid Construction: Unlike the single-column windows lining the nave, this larger installation consists of a three-by-four grid of twelve individual faceted glass panels framed by silver-toned aluminum or steel mullions.
* Material & Spatial Integration: The window is embedded directly into the textured, earth-toned fieldstone masonry of the rear wall, positioned just below the sloping, dark timber ceiling beams of the chapel.
* Color Palette & Transmission: Backlit natural light illuminates a vivid spectrum of faceted glass slabs, including dominant ambers, golden yellows, cobalt blues, teals, emerald greens, and fiery reds set in a dark mortar matrix.
