81. FONT AND CANDLE

It appears that the font came from the first St Peter’s Church. The font cover is in memory of Edwin Taylor Measday who died in 1922. The adjacent Paschal candle has a most unusual holder in the form of an angel. This was given in memory of Genevieve Grace Norman who died in 1981.    INDEX

82. DETAILS

The square design at left is the decoration of the base of the font. It uses the budded cross and the fleur de lis – common features of Christian art. The Bishop's shield can be found on the panelling of the Children’s Area. And the brass plate is the dedication from the font cover.

83. KNEELER

As we are about to leave St Peter’s we glance back to the nave pews and spot this long kneeler – another reflection on the history of St Peter’s Church and the Glenelg district. The Old Gum Tree is the birthplace of South Australia. It was here that Governor Hindmarsh read the proclamation that established the Colony of South Australia in 1836.    

84. GREAT WEST WINDOW

This window shows miracles Jesus performed during his ministry and celebrates his conquering of death. The upper section of the middle light shows Jesus risen in glory. Then from left to right we have the Raising of the Widow's Son, the Raising of Jairus’s Daughter, and the Raising of Lazarus. This completes our tour of St Peter’s Church, Glenelg.
