THE WEST WINDOW At the top of the window is seen the hand of God, the symbol of the Father. Below that is seen the Dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit. In the centre is the transfigured Lord Jesus Christ. On either side are the figures of Moses and Elijah, with angels above them. The prostrate and kneeling figures are the disciples; Peter, James and John. This window and the plaque with it came to this Church in 1927. At that time All Saints Church at Kingston-on-Thames, London, England was converting one of the chapels into a memorial chapel, to the memory of the fallen service men and women of World War I, and wished to replace this window with a memorial window. The Transfiguration Window was offered to the Primate of Canada to be placed in an All Saints Church in Canada. The Primate selected Weyburn. It is considered to be a window of great beauty and value. Stained glass experts have stated that the blue colours are exceptionally good and are thought to be from a formula long since lost.
