The Mystery Photo for the last issue in 2023 was easily identified by Marilyn Haritos of Duluth: “The beautiful stained glass window is by Bruce Hippel of New Jersey and is found in the narthex of Christ Church Episcopal, Norcross, Ga.” Marilyn is one of its worshipers.
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. wrote: : “When I first saw this, I thought that it would be easy. But as you noted, it really was rather difficult. Today’s mystery photo is of the stained glass windows that were originally installed at the Christ Episcopal Church when it was located on West Peachtree St. in downtown Norcross. The church moved to its current location at 400 Holcomb Bridge Rd in 1998, and the windows were kept in storage for 10-years. Then in July 2008, the windows were moved from storage to the new church location on Holcomb Bridge Road.
“There are eight stained glass windows that depict the events of Holy Week. Rather than individual stained glass panels, they are now adjoined within wooden framing that together spans 8-feet wide x 22-feet tall. They are now backlit along a wall in the entryway to the new church. The windows were created by Bruce Hippel, a stained glass artist originally from Villas, N.J. and who now lives in Summerville, S.C.”
Others recognizing the photo included John Titus, Peachtree Corners; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; and Lou Camerio, Lilburn; who added: “Hipple also has a similar piece at 0ur Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church at Cape May, N.J.”

A new mural has been completed for Lawrenceville along Jackson Street, just east of its Post Office. The mural is the conception of Teresa Abboud, a native of Lebanon, who now lives in Atlanta. The actual painting was by many local volunteers. For more of Teresa Abboud’s work, go to https://www.teresaafternoon.com/art-collection. Photos by Roving Photographer Frank Sharp.
