The window was designed after the famous Holy Spirit window in the Bernini Altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit, is made of opalescent glass. On each side of the baptismal font are life size marble statues of the Holy Family. The campanile, bell tower, is modeled from the Romanesque bell tower of The Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, an ancient church in Rome.
The cathedral belongs to 70,000 Catholics of the diocese and serves as a place of ceremony and celebration. The Cathedral of the Incarnation is also a parish church and as such it is home to its parishioners and a welcoming place for all visitors. On the east side of the sanctuary is the Annunciation chapel. The focal point of this chapel is the large relief of the Angel Gabriel talking to Mary at the annunciation. The three symbols on the ceiling are the white Lily also known as the Annunciation Lily which is a symbol of Mary’s immaculate purity. The crown with the symbols of Alpha and Omega showing the Blessed Virgin Mary as the queen of heaven throughout eternity.
Catholics traditionally will place their fingers in the holy water and then make the sign of the cross to recall their entrance into the church and the Christian faith through baptism. The three entrances in the facade have pediments like those over the entrance to the residence and the pro-cathedral. Highlighting the elegance of this is the acanthus flower-like Corinthian capitals of the pilasters.
The lower part of these windows can be opened by a wheel in the choir loft.

Recently renovated and lovingly restored, it is a beautiful place of worship dedicated to the honor and glory of God.
