Christian Rose Windows

Christian Themed Rose Windows

Even when she doesn’t appear directly in their design, the Virgin Mary is often linked to rose windows because one of her titles is the “mystical rose.” She did not become associated with this beautiful flower until after the Gothic stained glass windows known as rose windows became popular, but that does not stop Christians from making the connection. Other important religious figures can also be beautifully portrayed in rose windows. The fact that these figures are often just one part of a gorgeous work of carefully patterned colors and repeating geometric shapes in stained glass makes these rose windows truly wondrous windows for the soul.

Ideas for Religious Rose Windows

Shopping for rose windows featuring Christian themes is easy with Stained Glass Inc. We have a large selection of Christian rose window designs for you to choose from. If you are currently in the market for Christian stained glass, some possibilities for rose windows include:

• Rose windows honoring Christ: Stained glass showing the kind face of the Savior can provide reassurance in trying times and remind the faithful members of your congregation of the reason they come to mass each week. Whether rose windows show Christ as a child, hanging on the cross, or surrounded by His followers, they–like Him–will be a source of admiration.
  
• Saints: All of us can learn from the lives of these favored followers of God. The design of rose windows is ideal if you wish to honor several saints in a single work of stained glass, as the center and each petal can all contain different figures.
• Angels: It is comforting to believe that God’s guardians and messengers watch over us in our times of need. The mysterious colors and warm light of stained glass art can make it seem as though such uplifting ideas are truly within the realm of possibility.
• Apostles: Rose windows typically contain 12 “petals” or divisions. The fact that this is equal to the number of Christ’s Apostles is often cited as part of the inherent symbolism of rose windows. The design of many rose windows is literally perfect if you want all of the Apostles included in a single work.
