Joralyn Echols Glenn, Outreach and Public Relations Coordinator, notes: “This stained glass window is a depiction of the angel greeting the women at the Lord’s tomb on Easter morning. It was designed by Winfred Hyatt for the chapel in Glencairn, and was made in the glass factory and studio in Bryn Athyn using hand-blown glass.
