Isaiah Window

The window of the Prophets highlights Isaiah, perhaps the best loved prophet, because in his writings he foretells the coming of the Messiah.

Isaiah, the prophet, holds the coal with which his lips have been purified. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me!” Isaiah 6:6-8
