Christian Symbols Stained Glass Window.  

This beautiful window is a symbolic representation of the Christian faith.  The CROSS is empty, representing the risen and living Christ.  The EYE represents the eye of God knowing all.  The FISH is a symbol Christians of the early church used to identify themselves to each other.  The DOVE represents God the Holy Spirit and is a symbol of peace and purity.  The TRIANGLE represents God as we experience him as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  The CIRCLE is a symbol of our Eternal God without beginning or end.  

The prophet Ezekiel wrote of a vision of FOUR WINGED CREATURES.  The likeness of their faces as of an OX - Luke, a MAN - Matthew, an EAGLE - John, and a LION, Mark.  These four creatures represent the four apostles and the various interpretations of Jesus Christ presented by the four Gospels.
