Now and Forever Windows
Date TBA
We’re planning a visit to see the Now and Forever stained glass windows that were dedicated at the National Cathedral in September. The windows were created by acclaimed artist Kerry James Marshall and are accompanied by a poem written by Elizabeth Alexander. The Now and Forever windows replaced the Lee-Jackson windows that were removed after a deliberative process by the Cathedral.
Stay tuned for more details!
