About the Artwork
The ancients thought of God in pictures rather than in abstractions. This is true throughout the Bible. They took those images which were bigger than life and used them to describe the attributes of God. Water spoke to them of God's mercy, the shepherd reminded them of God's unceasing care for his creation.
Nothing is more majestic than the towering range of a lofty mountain. And nothing seems to be more unchanging and permanent. Throughout the ages man has been drawn to the mountains for refreshment and inspiration. When shrouded in clouds, the mountain took on an even more majestic aura.
Upon the mountains man built his holy places and his temples. To a mountain punctuating the Sinai wilderness, Moses went to receive the Commandments from God which would forge a rag-tag band of emancipated slaves into a mighty nation.
Violet and purple predominate this window which resembles Mt. Sinai which towers above a majestic range. Here was the Holy Ground upon which Moses stood on naked feet before the aweful majesty of the Almighty. On this ancient mountain, God reached out not to destroy, but to create a nation of priests to serve Him.
