Hi all - Jerry Young just shared this image with me, saying that it was forwarded from a friend of his who thought it was in a church somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Does anyone know where this is - and what the story behind it might be?! And yes, the artist either installed the window backwards, or didn't know how a front-action tuba is played!
Thanks for you help,
Dave
Where is this stained glass window with Jesus playing tuba?!

Confirmed, St. John’s Episcopal in Ithaca, NY. Aaron Tindall shared it on Facebook a while back…
