This exquisite stained glass window, titled Angel of Resurrection, showcases a central angelic figure flanked by two scenic panels. The angel stands with outstretched arms, gazing upward in a gesture that embodies peace and divine guidance. Her wings, tinted in soft blues and lavenders, harmonize with her flowing white robe. Surrounding her are vibrant green plants and delicate white lilies, which are traditional symbols of purity. The side panels depict tranquil landscapes with trees, water, and a distant horizon, perhaps evoking a vision of paradise. The Gothic-style arches add a reverent, majestic touch to the overall composition.
