The West Wall
Christ the Redeemer
As you can see in the compilation photo above, the Cathedral windows are free form. During the Cathedral's construction cutouts were made of each of the windows. Two sets of cutouts were made. One was reserved in Lincoln and the other was shipped to Europe for the artist to use in creation of the stained glass windows. Unfortunately, humidity conditions expanded the plywood cutouts shipped to Europe, resulting in windows slightly too large for openings when received in Lincoln in 1965. Area artists were summoned by Bishop Casey, and alterations were made to preserve the integrity and original design. In the late 1980's additional outside "storm windows" were installed to protect and preserve the windows from Nebraska's weather extremes.

Christ looking at Lazarus and Jonas. He is telling the two men about the resurrection of Jonas from the whale. It is a foretelling of Christ's own Resurrection.
Shows the spear piercing the side of Christ. Next, one sees Joseph of Aramathea, Nicodemus and Mary, the mother of our savior, who have taken Jesus down from the cross, wrapped him in his shroud and are taking him to the tomb.
. Two soldiers who are placed by the authorities at the entrance of the tomb to be sure the friends of the crucified man did not come and take him away, for they had heard his prophecy that he would leave the tomb. Three empty crosses, and below, three women. Six women, among whom are Mary the mother of James, Mary of Magdala, Salome and Joanna, who have gone to the sepulcher with their boxes of spices and jars of oil to anoint the body of Jesus, as was the Jewish custom. They arrive a the sepulcher, to find the rock had been rolled away."
They look inside the tomb and see a man in shining white sitting on the edge of the tomb. The angel says to them: "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen as he said."
