Priest turns broken glass from church into a cross
The Rev. Bruce Cheney worked a year to create a stained-glass cross for Holy Cross Episcopal Church's building. Using pieces from windows broken at Christ Episcopal Church in Bay St. Louis during the storm, Cheney didn't just place colorful glass into an eye-catching pattern.
He told a story.
One section of blue glass symbolizes the surge. Nine red pieces - three circular, three rectangular and then three more circular ones - reflect the international Morse code distress signal of dot, dot, dot; dash, dash, dash; dot, dot, dot.
Silvery-white chunks arranged in a swirl represent the hurricane. More blue glass represents sky, and at the top, using yellow-orange pieces, Cheney made a cross.
