“Queen of Peace” Faceted Glass Window, Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel

Description

A full vertical photograph of a narrow "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window. This panel is part of the thematic series within the chapel nave, combining specific Marian titles with symbolic imagery to create a meditative environment.

The image features:

* Peace Symbolism: The window depicts a white descending dove—a symbol of the Holy Spirit and peace—set against a radiant golden background. Above the dove is a stylized red and gold crown, while below it, a green olive branch and colorful stars cascade toward a circular emblem of the Earth at the base.

* Inscribed Text: The bottom section of the window contains the glass-inlaid title: "QUEEN OF PEACE." The lettering is integrated into the structural matrix of the glass, utilizing white and yellow slabs for clarity.

* Dalle de Verre Technique: The window is constructed from thick, hand-faceted glass slabs set in a dark epoxy or concrete matrix. This technique allows for intense color saturation and a prismatic effect as light passes through the chipped edges of the glass.

* Color Palette: The design features a brilliant contrast of royal blue, vibrant red, and shimmering gold. The slender, vertical orientation is a signature architectural element of the chapel’s Mid-Century Modern design, set into a neutral-toned plaster wall.
