Exterior View of “Queen of Paracletes” Faceted Glass Window, Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel

Description

A full vertical exterior photograph documenting the outer face of the "Queen of Paracletes" "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window set within the chapel’s exterior wall.

The image features:

* Exterior Matrix Perspective: Seen from the outside under ambient daylight, the glass slabs appear as dark, opaque shapes set within the light-toned mortar matrix, illustrating the mosaic-like appearance of dalle de verre from the exterior facade.

* Outer Iconographic Silhouettes: The dark structural outlines clearly define the central symbols dedicated to the Holy Spirit and Mary, including the lower processional cross and anchor motif, descending doves representing the Paraclete in the middle sections, and the crown at the apex.

* Exterior Setting & Frame: The window is recessed into a smooth, light-gray stucco wall above a tiered stone or concrete sill designed for water runoff. Evergreen foliage is visible in the lower right corner.

* Archival Field Record: This photograph documents the exterior structural mortar condition, frame seals, and physical preservation state of the window prior to the chapel's decommissioning.
