The Stained-Glass Windows
View through CrossRef
This chapter looks at the stained-glass windows of the crossing and the choir clerestory of the Princeton University Chapel. On the east side of the two transepts and in the choir above the organ cases are four windows which together illustrate aspects of the great themes in the Book of the Psalms. The windows are composed of numerous little scenes that are literal illustrations of verses from the Psalms, or are scenes from the life of Christ suggested by the verses. The four lancets in each window are to be read from left to right, and the three panels in each lancet from top to bottom. The north transept features Psalms 147, 148 and 150, while the south transept shows Psalm 107. In the north side of the choir are Psalms 22 and 23, and in the south side is Psalm 91.
