The window is in three parts, illustrating the theme Alpha-Omega-Alpha which is a metaphor for both the church before during and after the tornado, and life itself. All three panels have elements of the original window design while the center panel illustrates the tornado's destruction.24

A window recovered from the Knox Presbyterian Church.30 March 2006

Some of the glass pieces recovered from the coal bin were from a large round rose window. This window was restored on behalf of the Regina Plains Museum, and is now a part of our collection. While it may not be as arresting as an image of the wreckage caused by the storm, it acts as a unique window into history of the Regina Tornado of 1912, and helped to inspire us to create a new account of that incredible event. |
