In October, I installed two more windows at St. Matthias. Above is St. John's emblem--the serpent in the chalice--signifying an attempt to poison St. John that failed. St. James was the first apostle martyred. His brother, St. John, survived all the apostles into exile fulfilling Jesus' words about a shell and a chalice: And Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized."
