Rose window: "Brother Sun": 58 sq ft. Custom made, mouth blown glass with 24 karat gold spray kiln-fired. Rose window: "Sister Moon": 58 sq ft. Custom made, mouth blown glass- double and triple flashed, with 24 karat gold sprayed and fired on triple flashed purple. Since this is at an ancient Native American Settlement site, the design represents the four primal elements of earth, air fire and water in the nine chapel windows, referencing the Cahokia Indians and their deep respect for the elements. Rose windows are framed by a 24 karat gold armature, harmonizing the traditional and contemporary.
