St. Luke, one of the four evangelists, was the author of the third Gospel of the New Testament and possibly also the book of Acts. St. Paul tells us that Luke was a physician by profession; Christian legend tells us that he was also an artist who painted the first portrait of the Madonna and Child. St. Luke stands on a stone in a bountiful field of white lilies, symbolic of the purity of Christ and the Virgin Mary. He holds in one hand a quill pen and in the other a book (perhaps his Gospel) and has stopped writing for a thoughtful moment, as if responding to divine inspiration. This window by Tiffany Studios (c. 1912) Given in memory of B. M. Atkinson, MD (1830 - 1908)
