Grace Cathedral

Scaffolding and plastic sheeting, usually considered eyesores, cover the north transept window in the cathedral while its magnificent stained glass is being repaired and cleaned.

But the Rev. Canon Mark Stanger finds beauty in their humble presence: “Even the ordinary white plastic sheeting that covers the scaffolding as we renew our transept window finds a way to join in the cathedral’s ever-changing chorus of color and light.”

This year’s theme, “The Gift,” invites us to look for gifts in unexpected places.
