There are stone panels over the doors that are on the far ends
of the gallery wall, facing the side aisles.
 |
On the far left is the "Ark," the
ship owned by Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, which
transported to Maryland its first group of settlers in
1634.
Below it is the Seal of the City of Baltimore
surrounded by figures representing the industry and
commerce of the city.
|
 |
On the far right is the "Dove,"
the small companion ship of the "Ark." This
panel includes a torch, symbolic of the religious freedom
that signalized the Maryland Colony.
Below it is the Seal of the State of Maryland, which
incorporates Lord Calvert’s coat of arms, the baronet’s
crown and the Calvert motto, usually translated as
"Manly deeds and womanly words."
|
| The flanking figures on either
side represent the agriculture and industry, which enrich
our state. |

|
Next, let's see the stained glass
window in the first bay.
We're going to turn off the artificial lights so you can
enjoy
the colors created by God's light dancing through the
windows. |
