he colorful Coronation Window, which illustrates the Cathedral's special dedication to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, under the title of the "Cathedral of the Assumption".

The window, designed and installed by the Blum Art Company of Louisville in 1883, depicts the crowning of Mary as Queen of Heaven.

According to ancient Christian tradition, after Mary had died, God took her body up (assumed it) into heaven. As the first among the faithful, she is a sign of the eternal goal toward which we all are advancing. Centuries of Christian artists honored Mary's pre-eminence by picturing her being crowned a Queen.
