Description of the Design:  Uriel the Archangel is holding the 'Flame of God'.  He is the youngest of the four.  Note the thunder bolt across the top of the window, this was included in the design since he is the angel who protects from thunder and terror.  He is situated next to the reconciliation room and the choir.  He is the patron saint of musicians, artists, and the Angel of Repentence. The celtic knots, symbolizing endless faith, are in each of the upper corners.  This specific celtic knot is known as the Triquetra, latin for 3 cornered.  It is the symbol of the Holy Trinity; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
