If the windows in a church are to have real religious meaning, it is essential that a complete series of definite subjects be chosen and arranged in proper sequence.

Our major subjects start in the large windows of the western aisle, the first three beginning at the chancel end being devoted to the Old Testament.  These are followed by themes from the life and teachings of Christ, and then proceeding northward up the eastern aisle the windows will show the spread of the Gospel. The medallion window in the chancel is the climax of the series, with subjects from the Passion of Our Lord. The small cusped windows on either side of the gallery are reserved for the Reformers, while the great Rose window over the entrance symbolizes the Apocalypse and the assurance of the life hereafter.

The twelve lower windows in the side aisles are devoted to Manual Labor and Knowledge. In the thirteenth-century encyclopedia of Vincent de Beauvais, we read: "Manual Labor delivers man from the necessities which since the fall, his body is subject, while Instruction delivers him from the ignorance which has weighed down his soul." So Manual Labor and Knowledge are given places of equal honor in the church. The subjects for the Labors of the Months on the west side are those used in the Cathedral of Amiens, each being accompanied by the proper sign of the Zodiac.  On the east side are placed the seven Liberal Arts (Grammar, Rhetoric. Dialectic, Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, Music), with Philosophy, Medicine, Architecture, Sculpture and Painting. One must look for divine guidance in every walk of life and in every month of the year.
