Description
One of the magnificent stained glass windows in Holy Cross Catholic Church in Marine City, Michigan depicts this scene of Jesus who, having seen that his disciples were struggling to row against an adverse wind, has walked on the water to their boat. To them he said, Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid. (See Matthew 14:22-33, Mark, 6:45-52, John 6:16-21.) On one of the small windows below the scene are the words, Pray for our Sailors, which seem especially appropriate because the church is located on the west bank of the St. Clair River, which joins Lake Huron and Lake Erie and carries Great Lakes freighter traffic. Land for Holy Cross Parish was received by Father Gabriel Richard in a grant from President John Quincy Adams on April 1, 1825. The present church building dates from 1903. Copyright 2015 Ann Horn.
