Saint Benedict’s Catholic Church – Decorah, IA
Saint Benedict & Saint Scholastica stained glass windows
“Ora Et Labora” rose window
In 2017 Cathedral Crafts artists designed and fabricated three new stained glass windows for St Benedict Parish in Decorah, Iowa. The first window is is a rendition of St Benedict, the second is of St Scholastica, and the final window above is a rose window with the Benedictine motto “Ora et labora.” The phrase means, “pray and work.”
The majority of glass used for these windows is mouthblown colored glass made by the renown glass blowers at Glashutte Lamberts. Our artists and craftsmen, whom are well studied in the many forms & techniques of stained glass design & fabrication, use mouthblown Lamberts glass for the majority of all our new creations. The quality and beauty of lamberts art glass gives a historical elegance to every window we create.
* This is a beautiful original Cathedral Crafts Creation. If you’d like new stained glass created in this style please feel free to contact us. Cathedral Crafts can create for you windows in all styles & designs used in our past creations, and all antique church window styles that we have fully restored in the past. *
