CANADA - Two new stained glass windows were blessed after mass was celebrated Sunday at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church in Central Saanich. One of the windows was designed by First Nation artist Charles Elliott and incorporates the eagle, the salmon and the hands of blessing. The other, designed by Cavon Butler and Tim Smith, of Glass-Smith and Company in Victoria, who also built the windows, incorporates the sun, grapes, a sheaf of wheat and the Alpha and Omega. “I love art, visual art,” said Bishop of the Diocese of Victoria, Vancouver Island Richard Gagnon. “Art helps us draw closer to God.” [link]
