#59
Esta magnífica ventana, diseñada por Frederick Wilson (1858-1932) de Tiffany Studios, está compuesta por cuarenta y un paneles de vidrio opalescente y favrile. Debido a la complejidad y tamaño de la ventana, fue proclamada como una de las "ventanas más famosas de este país" (Christian Advocate: 1899). Originalmente titulado "Te-Deum", que en latín significa "Alabamos, oh Dios", es apropiado encontrar a Cristo sentado en el trono. Querubines y figuras bíblicas decoran toda la ventana, ya que todas las figuras están mirando a Cristo en el centro. Casualmente, encontramos a un bebé sosteniendo una cinta etiquetada como "Herodes", lo que significa el decreto del rey Herodes de matar a todos los bebés en Belén cuando escuchó que nacería un bebé que se convertiría en el Rey de los judíos. Esta ventana fue dedicada en 1899 a Townsend Young por su esposa, Maria Lawrence Young en la Iglesia Metodista Unida, Ossining, Nueva York.

Santos Musicales: Vitral de Pascua
#60
Los Santos musicales se basa en el Salmo 149, que describe la alabanza al Dios de las religiones abrahámicas. El pasaje dice: «Cantad al Señor un cántico nuevo.» Las líneas más relevantes son: «Que el pueblo de Dios alabe su nombre con danzas y haga música,» haciendo referencia directa a tocar instrumentos en la adoración, y «Que los santos se regocijen en su gloria y canten de alegría.» Aquí, el santo toca una trompeta natural hacia el cielo, acompañado en canto por dos ángeles más pequeños en las esquinas inferiores con un cuerno de buisine y una pequeña arpa. La santa recuerda a Santa Cecilia, la patrona de la música. Su patrocinio deriva de su experiencia durante su boda, donde escuchó música celestial en su corazón.

Oriental Landscape
#62
A grand landscape is lit by the warmth of the setting sun, illuminating a tall mountain range and valley. The window has inscribed Psalms 23, which reads: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters." The psalm and window were dedicated to a beloved couple from Syracuse, New York. The psalm is expressed literally in this window, with a vast meadow and a winding river. The pink hydrangeas in the foreground express sincere love between the couple.

Marble Window

This window is ornamental, lacking a major subject, instead showing the craftsmanship and colors of Tiffany Studios' opalescent glass. Tiffany Studios also created ornamental windows for the aisle windows of churches, being simpler than the main windows at the end of the church which usually display religious subjects.

Shadow of Darkness
#64
The Shadow of Darkness angels are mournfully looking downward with shadows overtaking their expressions, sharing the anguish of heaven and earth after the crucifixion of Jesus. This first angel holds lilies in their arm, a common emblem of the Crucifixion. Together, the two banners under the angels read the first half of Psalm 23:6: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

Te Deum
#65
Te Deum is a Latin Christian hymn and is short for the title "Te Deum laudámus," which translates to "Thee, God, we praise." Inscribed in the glass is "The Holy Church throughout all the world does acknowledge thee, The noble army of Martyrs praise thee, Amen," which are lyrics to the hymn. What makes this window stand out from other Te Deum windows and artworks is that there is no depiction of Jesus present; all figures are looking up at heaven, where Jesus should be. This can be attributed to the church it was originally located in, where depictions of Jesus are not permitted. The people on the left side of the window are from the Bible's New Testament, while the figures on the right are from the Old Testament, all coming together with angels to worship God.

Angels of Praise

The Angels of Praise look upwards in glee, sounding their buisine horns in joy to announce the grand resurrection of Jesus Christ. The window set is the opposite of the Shadow of Darkness window, displaying vibrant and bright colors that celebrate the resurrection. The angel of praise on the right proudly wears a laurel wreath and holds up their buisine and palm branch, declaring victory and celebration for Christ. The Easter holiday is the commemoration of the resurrection of Christ.

Christ and a Traveler
#68
This window is titled after the Parable of the Good Samaritan, a moral and spiritual lesson about loving one's neighbor and showing mercy to others. This window is an atypical representation of the parable, with a woman in worship, receiving this lesson from Jesus while the angel watches over them with the scriptures in their hands. The lyrics to the hymn "When I Can Read My Title Clear" by Isaac Watts are inscribed in the glass: "When I can read my title clear to mansions in the sky, I'll bid farewell to every tear and wipe my weeping eyes."

Saint Cornelius and Angel
#69
Cornelius is a centurion, a commander in the Roman army, and the first non-Jewish person to convert to Christianity. He wears the soldier uniform and centurion helmet with a plume to distinguish his status. One day, an angel appeared before him and instructed him to send men to Joppa and call for Simon Peter. The inscription on the window is Acts 10:4, where the angel tells Cornelius: 'Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God."

Religion Enthroned
#70
Religion Enthroned is the only replica within the entire museum. The original by J. & R. Lamb Studios was commissioned in 1900 by the U.S. government for the 1900 L’Exposition Universelle Internationale in Paris, France, which won two medals. In the center, a female figure sits on a throne. Behind the seated figure are two angels: Michael, holding a sword, and Gabriel, holding the apostolic double cross. The woman is emblematic of religion, and the two archangels are the representatives of the Church Militant (Michael, who represents Christians on Earth) and the Church Triumphant (Gabriel, who represents Christians in Heaven). Encapsulating the three figures is the Tree of Life, symbolizing immortality and the source of eternal life.
