New Stockholm Lutheran Church was established in 1889 and is the first Swedish Augustana Lutheran Church in all of Canada. The current church began construction in 1919, opened in 1921 and is home to these beautiful stained glass windows. Enjoy!
Above is the panel over the front doors.
These four tall, narrow panels are repeated throughout the church.
Each transept houses an oversize arched panel of stained glass. "Jesus with sheep" on the north and "Jesus knocking at the door" on the south.
The view from the altar reveals the scale of the windows....the large panels are over twenty feet tall.
These windows are all original to the church.
This is one of the finest sets of original antique stained glass windows I have encountered anywhere in my travels.

Another amazing prairie church.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a 'must see' when you're in the area. There is also an older Swedish mission church just a mile down the road.
