The Van Schaack Memorial Window

The Van Schaack memorial window was ordered in 1889 and came from London, England. The opalescent glass gives texture and richness. The Crown symbolizes Christ's sovereignty. Wheat symbolizes Christ as the bread of life. Lilies symbolize purity. Grapes and wines suggests the passage "I am the vine; ye are the branches."

Henry Van Schaack was a vestryman of Christ Church for many years, a much-beloved village attorney, and the author of The History of Manlius Village.
