About the Image:
This image shows a stained glass window of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal from St. Mary Church in Greenville, South Carolina. Stained glass art, typically found in religious contexts, dates back to medieval times and uses colored glass pieces to create images. This window features a color scheme with significant use of blues and purples, indicative of spirituality and associated with the Virgin Mary. The window's precise artist and creation date are unknown, but it displays both traditional and possibly modern stained glass techniques. The image, designed to be illuminated by light, would enhance the meditative environment of the church, and the inscriptions indicate patronage by Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Beatty. The window's iconography is steeped in Christian symbolism, reflecting Mary's significance in Christian doctrine.
