On the horizontal band of lower windows, grayish blue and purple are the primary tones, accented with gold and red. There are no images, only words (Love, Unity, Brotherhood, Literature, Music; the names of various saints arranged by historical era) and geometric forms. Above them, a series of small vertical windows are filled with colored glass decorated with small, simple symbols.
