East Window

The east window, a triple lancet, sits behind and above the altar in the south-eastern window of the upper sanctuary of Saint Mark’s Church, Opawa.

This window was made by Whitefriars to replace the one destroyed by the fire which destroyed the original church in 1949.

The window is a triptych of the risen Lord at the empty tomb, based on Matthew 28.
