Description
Tiffany Rose Window set in the wall of the Episcopal Church in Riverton, New Jersey.
The most valuable and historically significant window is the ‘rose’
window located in the west wall. It is an interesting example, of l9th
Victorian glass, known to be the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany. It
portrays the faces of children of many hues, "all the children of the
world," surrounding a heavenly cross, crafted out of favril glass. It
is further surrounded by eight roundels composed of holly and
sheaves of wheat, possibly symbolizing our birth in Christ. Holly and
wheat were typically known as pagan symbols, but are now used to
represent The Incarnation and The Nativity. The window was presented
in 1884 in memory of Mr. Louis A. Godey, publisher of
Godey's Ladies Book, by his children, Mrs. Roland Seegar and Mr.
Harry Godey
