The Church Music Window…

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

..above the choir loft of St. Lucy’s church, Newark, New Jersey. This church was built and decorated 1925 onwards. As is customary for the decoration of this corner of a church, King David and St.Cecilia are depicted. But in this window two others, both popes, find a place as well.

St. Gregory the Great, so strongly associated in Tradition with the development of the liturgy and of chant, sits on the left.

On the right is pope Pius X, the great champion of Gregorian chant in the early 20th century. The scroll he holds is not in chant notation, though.
