Sacred Writers Workshop met at St. Bridget Catholic Church in Postville, Iowa on 3 February 2026. Julie Hietland provided an interesting and informative overview of the eighteen mosaic glass windows.

The windows of St. Bridget reflect the trinity with each window containing three parts. The windows are connected with a yellow meandering thread along and across all eighteen windows. This dotted yellow line divides the top and middle part of the window.

The top section represents God in three forms and his sacrifices and gifts to man including creation and the seven sacraments. The middle section of the window presents the apostles, our country, state, city of Postville, Archdiocese of Dubuque, Universal Church, and Saint Bridget of Ireland, name-stake for the church.

The bottom section of the window depicts eighteen different forms of the cross from across the world. The ultimate sacrifice occurred on the cross, no matter which the form used to represent Christ’s death and our salvation.
