Design: James Atkinson Crombie, ARCA.
The lefthand light shows a pastoral scene full of symbolism; the rising sun represents the splendour of God the Creator, flowing from the sun is the river of life, the Oak trees symbolise faith and endurance. The white bird ascending to heaven represents the spirit.
In the righthand light are images of the spirits of babies amongst the flowers. The Rose is the symbol of Nativity, the Daisy for the innocence of children, the Lily is traditionally associated wih purity, the Ivy represents Life Eternal, and the primrose for Spring. At the top of the window is a lamp which represents the presence of God.
