St. Jacobs Lutheran Church Anna Ohio



St. Jacobs is a big church in a small town. The stained glass windows in this church are amazing. Some are in need of some TLC/restoration but they are numerous and beautiful. But first lets see what the church looks like from the outside.









This small prayer garden along with an elevator are a few of the recent additions to the church.



There are two large 4 pane stained glass windows on both sides of the church. I am only going to feature one here. I'll save the other for a future post.

I just love taking pictures of this church. More to come later.

All Children Love the Lamb of God

Worn Stained Glass Window of the Lamb of GodSt. Jacobs Lutheran Church in Anna Ohio is a lovely church and has a wonderful collection of stained glass windows. The collection is one of the most diverse and numerous collections that I have found. This simple window with the Lamb of God has the best story however.

This window was located in the lady’s restroom, back in the day when the lady’s-room came with a bassinet instead of a changing table. The room also served as a refuge for those mothers who’s little one became fussy. If you look you can see where the children over the years have worn down the stain as they found comfort in petting the Lamb.

Look for more post featuring the windows and the rest of the church in upcoming post.
