Marian Window
of the Immaculate Conception
In the west transept we
see the Marian Window of the Immaculate
Conception, one of the three rose windows of the
co-cathedral.
The window is dominated by the letters A and M
for Ave Maria (Hail Mary), the angel
Gabriel's salutation to Mary mentioned in St.
Luke's Gospel. The crown around the Ave
Maria lettering testifies to Mary's reign as
Queen of heaven and earth. The surrounding
twelve stars (Rev 12:1) are the same design as
the Texas state star in recognition of Mary as
the patroness of the archdiocese.
