| The windows of the church
provide a fine example of 19th century stained glass.
Only two of the windows, located in the ceiling, are of
the 20th century. The four corner windows of the church
which are shown first (above) are the original ones. Deceptive
in their seeming simplicity, we observe the complexity
of Celtic scroll work along with the St. Andrew's cross
in the middle of some of the circles. The circle motif
in Celtic scroll work is taken by most observers to be
a symbol of eternity, that is without beginning or end,
and hence the symbol of God. Many will enjoy trying to
decipher the meaning of the symbols in these windows. |

| These windows were donated by families of
St. Andrew's church in commemoration of loved ones. The
families are Cooke, Wilkie, Morrin, Simpson, Gunn, Strang. |

This window is in memory
of Daniel Wilkie, Rector of the High School of Quebec
and son of Daniel Wilkie,
prominent educator. |
|
The upper yellow windows
are the most recent addition to our church and date
from the 1940's. |
What is very unusual
about this window is that it was donated by the Sunday
school in the year 1876. |
