Liturgical Design > Project: Stained-Glass Window Design, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Lowell MA

Design for a large, fully painted stained glass window depicting the Holy Trinity, with four transoms lights depicting seraphim and cherubim, to be located over the main entrance doors of Holy Trinity Hellenic Orthodox Church, Lowell Massachusetts.

The work was designed and glass painted by me, and is presently being fabricated and installed by the Burnham & La Roche Associates Stained Glass studio, Medford MA.
