The north facing window at the First Presbyterian Church on North 10th Street in Richmond was created by Tiffany Studios of New York. Two other churches in Richmond, Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church also contain Tiffany windows.

The window, shown above, is designed in the Renaissance style and depicts the appearance of The Lord after His resurrection to Mary Magdalene on the road to the Sepulchre.  In the central panel the figures of The Lord and Mary Magdalene are shown in richly-colored robes in a beautiful garden setting bordered by outer panels rich in white and gold ornamental detail.

In the upper panel of the central panel the artist has shown the symbol of virtue, the lilies, and on either side of the figures, the symbols of Baptism and Holy Eucharist.  The window was designed and executed by the Tiffany Studios of  New York.
