Description

Linda Strating, National Cathedral docent, discusses the War Memorial Chapel with Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Carleton Birch. The stained glass in the chapel depicts significant moments in American military history. The artwork above the altar is "The Suffering Christ", designed and executed by British artist Steven Sykes. Torn sheets of brass in the halo simulate brass cannon shells. The spikes inside the halo are cast aluminum colored to remind the viewer of barbed wire. The copper rays of light in the halo look like bayonets.
