Jesus said unto her, touch me not. i'or I have not vet ascended to my father." i In the western Judge window the five lower panels form the picture of the Christ in the temple. Above, about a picture of the Magdalen washing wash-ing the feet of Christ, are grouped individual representations of Saints Augustin, Mark, Jerome. Matthew, Thomas, Ambrose and Luke.

It may be interesting to know that the magnificent windows in the new I St. Mary's cathedral that depict the beautiful mysteries of the Catholic belief, be-lief, are made in Munich, in Bavaria, Ba-varia, and that the processes through which they pass are intricate to the last degree. The transept windows jare approximately 35 feet high and 16 j feet wide, and the nave windows, of which there are eight, are 40 feet I high and 6 feet wide. The five sanc-j sanc-j tuary windows are 5 feet wide. |
