Lehi Fourth Ward: Stained Glass Details

Members of the ward in this chapel were very patient as I took tons of pictures and even turned out the lights at one point (sacrament meeting was over.)

The focal point of the window is a beehive, surrounded by two vases of flowers.

Even the details behind the beehive are stunning. Clouds, a blue sky, small trees.

The gothic arches of the window really captured my attention, too.

One window can make all the difference.

Lehi Fourth Ward: Stained Glass Window

As stated in my last post, this is the original window from the Lehi Fourth Ward's chapel.

It's stunning! Every other aspect of this chapel is modern, but this window really makes the chapel a beautiful place to worship. It's lit electronically from behind.

There is too much to highlight in this window for one post. My next post will have close-up details of almost every aspect of the window. I really loved having the opportunity to see it.

Lehi Fourth Ward

There's a bit of a story behind the next couple of posts on the Lehi 4th Ward. This beautiful structure originally stood here, in northeast Lehi:

It was constructed in 1912-1913. In 1952, it underwent extensive renovations, which included additions on the building's north side (the right of the photo.)

The stained glass (visible in the photo) was at the back of the chapel; at the front was a large painting of Christ. The basement was one large room that could be separated into classrooms with curtains.

The building was demolished sometime after 1985. After some research, I was told that the stained glass had been placed in the building that replaced it on the same site. Eagerly, I went to the new chapel.

 However, this is what I found:

The organ is lovely, but there was no trace of the stained glass window. I combed the entire building, and finally asked the local bishopric about their knowledge. It turns out the stained glass window had been transferred to a building a few blocks over, which houses the Lehi Sego Lily Ward.

Unfortunately for me, the building was closed for cleaning for a couple of months. Luckily, you won't have to wait that long--I'll show the window and details of it in my next posts.
