Spiritus Gladius
The Spirius Gladius window is a celebration of our namesake, St. Paul.
In the upper portion of the window, Paul's symbol, a shield incorporating a sword and an open Bible with the word,
Spirius Gladius, is encircled with symbols of the Trinity, Christ, the apostles and sacraments.
Supporting this rose window section are three arches occupied by angels bearing a scroll with Paul's familiar and
much loved verse from 1 Corinthians 13:13. Inscribed on the angels' halos are the books of the New Testament
which have been attributed to St. Paul.
