St.
Cornelius Window early 20th century Chapel of St. Cornelius, Governors Island, New York This window is not, as one might
think, a single composition. Rather, the left half represents
Cornelius in Caesarea hearing the voice that speaks to him in Acts
10:5, "send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed
Peter." When Peter comes to Caesarea, "Cornelius came to meet
him, and
falling at his feet adored" (v. 25), as represented in the right half
of the window. More of St. Cornelius Photographed at the
site by Richard Stracke
