Christ's Blessing is a beautiful stained glass window in the Greensboro Historical Museum. The museum was formerly the First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro. This Tiffany-style window, with such vibrant color, dates to 1903. The Scales family sponsored the window in memory of their parents, Effie and Junius Scales. According to the information at the museum, the window represents the following Bible verse, "Let the little children come unto me... for such is the kingdom of heaven."
If you are interested in history, religious as well as the general history of Greensboro, the Greensboro Historical Museum, located at 130 Summit Avenue, is a place you want to visit, and often, as the museum sponsors many special events. Happy Sunday, whether you are in Greensboro or elsewhere!
Good Morning. I have in my storage building one of the original Stain Glass windows out of the old Centenary Methodist Church. After the church moved out on W. Friendly, the building on the corner of Arlington and then Fayetteville Streets (now MLK), was abandoned for several years before being torn down. My grandmother paid the wrecking company to take the Glascock window down and haul it to her garage, where it stayed until her death. It's a huge window in several section. Would love to see it put back on display one day, we have tried to donate it, but no one is interested in spending the $$ it will take to restore it.
