This panel from a Christmas window features the Presentation in the Temple. According to the Gospel of Luke, after Jesus was born Joseph and Mary traveled to Jerusalem to present the Christ Child at the Temple. The architectural context of the story is here emphasized in stained glass by the inclusion of a wall with turrets located just above the main scene. While the family was there, the Holy Spirit visited a man named Simeon and revealed to him that Jesus was the Messiah. The scene illustrates the part of the story where Simeon takes Jesus into his arms and proclaims Him to be “a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel” (2:32).This panel, together with three others from a Christmas window, was originally located in Bryn Athyn Cathedral. It was later placed in storage, where it remained until it was rediscovered in the late 1980s.

Lawrence Bradford Saint: A Life in Stained Glass

Early Life and Education

Born on January 30, 1885, in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, Lawrence Bradford Saint emerged from a family with artistic inclinations. His father, Joseph A. Saint, was also an artist, providing early exposure to the world of art. Young Lawrence began his artistic journey by learning fundamental skills like grinding paint and tracing patterns during an apprenticeship with a stained glass artisan. This hands-on experience laid the groundwork for his future specialization.

Saint continued his education at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in Philadelphia, where he honed his painting skills. A significant turning point came with the prestigious Cresson Traveling Scholarship, which enabled him to travel extensively throughout Europe. This journey proved pivotal in shaping his artistic vision.

Artistic Development and Influences

Saint’s travels through Europe were profoundly influential, particularly his exposure to medieval stained glass. He was captivated by the techniques, color palettes, and narrative power of these historical works. This inspiration became a defining characteristic of his own artistic style.

Upon returning from Europe, Saint began working at the H.F. Petgen Company in Pittsburgh. There, he designed his first stained glass window for the Catholic Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in East Liberty, marking the beginning of his professional career. He later developed a unique process to create his own stained glass within his backyard studio, allowing him greater control over the artistic execution.

Major Achievements and Notable Works

Saint’s most celebrated achievement lies in his contributions to the Washington National Cathedral. He served as the head of the stained glass department and created some of its most breathtaking windows, including the renowned Three Parable Windows within St. Mary's Chapel.
