The Osmond Memorial Window Dedicated on Sunday, September 23, 1962, during the Dedication of Christ Church Parish House by the Right Reverend Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., D.D., Bishop of Massachusetts. The dominant figures of the Madonna and Child are surrounded by significant related symbolism - angelic attendants; the phoenix rising anew from the flames of its burning nest, suggesting the Resurrection; the Peacock, ancient emblem of Immortality; the Fleur-de-lys of Purity and the Pomegranate of Fruitfulness and Unity; the Greek and Celtic crosses; the HIS and the Chi Rho monograms of Our Lord, and the crowned monogram of the Blessed Virgin. Smaller symbols through the fields include stars of heavenly steadfastness, the lamb, harp, lyre, bell, birds, and flowers (marguerites). The tracery is accented by two young choristers. The memorial inscription is designed at the base: "In loving memory of Margaret N. Osmond 1871-1961, by her daughter Margaret". The window is the work of Charles J.

The Mary Elisabeth Edes Agnew Memorial Window Newspaper clipping from August 1963 A dedication service of the new Mary Elisabeth Edes Agnew memorial window and doorlights will take place at the 10 a.m. worship service at Christ Episcopal Church. The memorial window and door panels are given by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver L. Edes of Warren's Cove, Plymouth and her husband, Seth L. Agnew of New York City. Mrs. Agnew was baptized, confirmed and married in this church and last October, following her death, a memorial service was held there in her memory. The memorial window of stained glass to be blessed and dedicated will be the second on the left as one enters the church, and was designed by Charles J. Connick of Boston. Description of Window: Our Lord, with the Shepherd's crook, is represented at the center, holding a child, recalling His blessing of the children brought to him. At the right, the ancient Simeon blesses the Christ Child brought to him in the Temple; and at the left, Samuel anoints and blesses the young shepherd, David, a prototype of Our Lord. Symbols at the base represent the lamp of knowledge and enlightenment, and the open book of learning. In the tracery above are playing children-one resembling Alice of Carroll's Wonderland. The fields are enriched with growing foliated forms flowering in the fleur-de-lys of purity.

In each panel is the ancient symbol: the nine pointed star. It stands for the nine graces of the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Christian character (Galatians 5:22-23). Toward the base of each panel is a shield with the name of one of these graces. You will note small fruit in different places. They refer to the words “The Fruit of the Spirit”. In small panes a representations of the Saints in whom were exemplified these graces of the Spirit. In the center window are to be found the symbols of St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke and St. John. There are several symbolic references to Saint Mary such as the Lily and the Rose. This, of course, is because it is Saint Mary’s Chapel. It is also for this reason that the dominant color of the windows is the color of the Virgin, viz. blue. The “Bird” is also an ancient symbol of the Spirit. The inscription throughout the nine panels reads: “To the Glory of God an din loving memory of Alice Bartlett Warren”. The Parish is greatly indebted to Miss Thorp for this beautiful memorial. The bill: From: Studios of George L. Payne, Paterson, New Jersey, May 31, 1949 For the sum of $475.00 each, we agree to execute and install complete three windows in this Chapel.
