This stained glass window, comprised of several panels, depicts Jesus’s Assentation into heaven. The top and bottom panels depict architectural elements and church spires, some with crosses on the top. The center three panels display Jesus with an angel on either side of him. Jesus is draped in a white and yellow shawl. He gazes to the angel on his left, while his right hand is slightly raised. Both angels look to Jesus. The angel on his left, is dressed in a light purple shawl with her hands poised in prayer. The other angel, is dressed in a light blue shawl with both of her hands clasped. Overall, the largest panels in this window are approximately 7' 3". 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 and has shifted. The lead lining, in some places, is not completely attached to where it originally was on the glass. Scratches, abrasions, and cracks are present. There is at least one piece of glass that is not attached at all anymore along with a few places where the glass has bowed. In this window there are places where the lead lining is completely absent from the edges of the glass. Some of the material used to attach these windows to the wall is still present.
