As a Christian symbol, the pelican signifies the sacrifice of Christ, since she draws blood from her own breast to feed her babies, and this symbol is the focus of this lovely round stained glass window. Flawless imagery includes every detail of the portrayal, from the pelican feathers to the open beaks of her hungry babies, set against a backdrop of scarlet red in rich textured hues. Surrounding the central tableau is an elaborate, elegantly ornate frame with accents of gold and white, styled in the traditional time-honored stained glass fashion.
