The Torch In Hand Window

The second window contains a symbol not of ancient origin and not used extensively in Christian symbolism.  Originally a pagan symbol, the torch has been used to represent the Nativity.  In this case, however, the torch in hand is used as a symbol of the coming of the Light of the World as heralded by John the Baptist (John 1:7-10). 

This window was given by the Bill Brandon Bible Class, at First Methodist Church, in memory of William W. Brandon.
