The interior of St. Bartholomew's Church has Byzantine features and decoration
(Domes, mosaics, rounded arches). As such it is interesting to note that
Mr. Goodhue did not intend to have stained glass in the windows.
The clear glass originally in the windows was replaced by stained glass.
The wheel window (left) was replaced with stained glass in 1943. |

Although not illustrated here, the window found in the south transept area
of the church, is a representation of the Sanctus, a canticle (a passage
of scripture that is used for song and chanting).
