The Resurrection Window

Tiffany Glass Company, New York, NY, ca. 1887.

A five-lancet Resurrection Window, symbolizing the resurrection of Christ, fills the west wall of the Morgan Memorial Chapel. The central lancet holds an empty cross, surrounded by a vine laden with grapes, representing Christ and his Church. Overhead is a descending dove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit, at the center of a rose divided into twelve sections to denote the twelve Disciples of Christ. Given by Peter White in memory of his son Morgan, the Resurrection Window was created ca. 1887 by the Tiffany Glass Company of New York. It was restored in the 1990s by Shadetree Studios of Petoskey, MI, together with the 1952 rose window made by the Connick firm. In January of 2007, the Marquette County Historical Society presented the church with its Peter White Award, given annually in recognition of efforts to preserve the community’s heritage.
