Two pictorial windows in Christ Church depict saints. Nine windows depict events in the life of Christ. This window depicts Saint Luke and is located in the narthex near the entrance to the nave. It is 21" wide and 56" high. It was given to Christ Church as a Memorial by the family of Dr. Everett Lyle Gage, vestryman and 1959, 1966, and 1972 senior warden, and is inscribed,

"St. Luke, the Beloved Physician. To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of Everett Lyle Gage, M.D."

This window was created by J.H. Hankinson Stained Glass of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  Dr. E. Lyle Gage, Jr., a gifted stained glass craftsman himself,  assisted with the creation of this window.

These beautiful windows at Christ Church are unequalled in our area. They bathe the nave of the church in color and illustrate the life of Christ to those venturing into this hallowed space. The classic Gothic architectural style of Christ Episcopal Church symbolizes the Anglican origins of the Episcopal Church in the USA.

Most of the stained glass windows at Christ Episcopal Church were installed when the present church was built in 1920-1921 after a devastating fire on Christmas day, 1919. The fire destroyed the original wooden church that had been completed on November 23, 1890. The new church was completed and dedicated on October 23, 1921, by Episcopal Bishop W. L. Gravatt, with clergy E. W. Hughes of Graham (now Bluefield, VA) and Rector Jennings Wise Hobson, who served Christ Church for thirty-three years from 1916 until 1949, assisting.

Although this window is not a "Munich Style" window, all of the other windows in Christ Church are of the Munich style, or “Munich School.”  All but two of those windows were created by Jacoby Art Glass Company of St. Louis, Missouri, in 1920. Jacoby later created the narthex (front hallway) windows and the window in our children’s chapel in 1958.  The remaining two Munich style windows were created by Wippel-Mowbray and J. Wippel of the United Kingdom.
