Rose Window of St Augustine Parish, Andover, USA

It was 3d designed with Tinkercad codeblocks and 3d printed, by the students of 3rd Junior High School of Kifissia, Athens, Greece. Traditional Rose windows are divided geometrically into 8, 12, 24, or 36 parts. The St. Joseph’s window is based on the number eight, which signifies rebirth and baptism. The pattern of the tracery, the wooden frame supporting the sections of the stained glass, is based on the red flame design found within the green circles used repeatedly in the windows on both sides of the church. By taking this basic theme and interlocking the design twice, the rose window is divided into its eight parts. The central focus of the window is the symbol of St. Augustine. His special attribute is the flaming heart signifying his religious fervor and love of God. Also included is the arrow, a symbol of his remorse, and a book, used to represent his teachings which have been so important in the history of Christianity. https://staugustineparish.org/st-joseph-church-rose-window/
