NORTH SIDE:  Window Six shows Simon and Matthias.

Simon is depicted with his most familiar symbol of a book with a fish lying upon it indicating his great love of being a “fisher of men” through the power of the Gospel. He also holds oars and a battle axe, other common symbols used for Simon. Matthias is the Apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot and is often substituted for the traitor who betrayed Jesus. His most common symbol is an open Bible and double battle axe. Another usual attribute for Matthias is the sword or scimitar held by the point.
