This stained glass window consists of many individual panels displaying the Resurrection of Jesus with his tomb and angel in the background. On either side of the Resurrection, an angel floating amongst the clouds is surrounded by clouds and architectural motifs. The three large central panels are comprised of two smaller windows, with each containing a figure. In the center, Jesus is draped in a burgundy shawl, with his left hand raised displaying the mark of the nail that crucified him. In his other hand, he holds a staff with a flag attached to the end. On either side of Jesus, there are two female figures, Mary Magdalene on the left and the Virgin Mary on the right. Mary Magdalene with her fiery red hair, is kneeling and looking up to Jesus with both of her arms outstretched. While the Virgin Mary, draped in a blue shawl, looks to her son and clasps both of her hands together. The bottom three stained glass windows consist of architectural motifs similar to the tops of the windows. This window was constructed “In honor of Benj. F and Sarah C. Dennie By their Children,” as noted on the lower center window. That window is signed by R. T. Giles Minneapolis Minn. The largest panels are approximately 5' 5". These windows are very delicate. The lead lining is flaking off however, the glass itself appears to be in good condition. There are some areas where the glass is no longer present or where the lead lining does not completely attach to where it was originally placed on the glass. Scratches, abrasions, and cracks are present. Some of the material used to attach these windows to the wall is still present.
