Art at Saint John the Baptist
|
 |
An Altar Canopy, or
baldachin, is often used in large spaces to lend intimacy to the
Altar area. Our baldachin is a memorial to Herbert C Greenfield and
Helen C Greenfield, parents of
Fr. Bob Greenfield, our first rector.

The Crucifix icon over the main Altar was a gift
to the Parish Church from Sue Jensen, in thanksgiving and for the
glory of God. It was written by Sherry Bettendorf (Lynch) who had been
commissioned by Sue. At Sherry's invitation Sue participated by
adding some of the lettering. This made the gift particularly
personal. The design was, to a large extent, detailed by Fr. Roy
Coulter.

The three sculptures, high
on the south wall, were sculpted by Lynne Kiefer Kobylecky.

An
icon of St. John the Baptist was commissioned in the spring of 1977
by Mrs. Sarita Sandham and her sister, Mrs. Ester Freeman, in memory
of their parents Jose and Monserrate Balzac Riera.
This was written by Sherry Bettendorf (Lynch) and is one of her
earlier icons.
It hangs on the wall of the Gospel side of the Lady Chapel. The icon
is a copy of a 15th century Serbian prototype.

The
Virgin and Child ("The Virgin of the Sign") was written in 1978 by
noted iconographer
Fr. John Walsted, OHC, and given by him in memory of his
mother, Clair Walsted.
It is on the wall of the Epistle side of the Lady Chapel. The lamp
hanging over it was brought back by Dean Greenfield from his visit
to the Holy Land in 1979. |

Man 'O War was created
by noted artist and longtime parishioner, John Waddingham.
It was presented to the Rector, by his wife, Joan
Waddingham. |
The top portion of the
stained glass window behind the Altar was donated to St. Helen's
Hall.
At one point it was removed, stolen and recovered. It was created by
Albert Gerlach.
The lower portion of the
stained glass window was also created by Albert Gerlach, 50 years
after completing the top portion. |
