Martha Washington

The Abundant Life: Service THrough Sacrifice

Stained Glass Design

Each of the windows in Washington Memorial Chapel have “medallions” depicting scenes or stories. In between those major medallions are smaller “intermedallions” which represent a theme or motif.

Within the tracery (intricate stonework window atop a stained glass window) are sections called daggers (dagger shaped), kites (diamond shaped) and panels (larger sections).

The slider below shows each section within the window.
