The Angel of Victory
is one of seven Louis Comfort Tiffany Windows that grace the sanctuary of First Church.

This photo depicts the center element of the Angel of Victory window. The angel stands in a bower of palms, which symbolizes victory of the triumphant march into Jerusalem, and she is surrounded by the Passion flower as a symbol of the death and resurrection of Christ.

The window bears the name
Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company
and was given in memory of Benjamin Stephenson Edwards (1818 — 1886). Edwards was a Springfield lawyer and son of Illinois' first territorial governor, Ninian Edwards.

"Edwards was not a supporter of Lincoln . . .(d)espite the fact that his brother, Ninian, was married to Mary Todd Lincoln's sister, and that he had held a lifelong affiliation with the Whigs, he left the Republican party to support Douglas. His wife reported years later that 'feelings at the time ran so high that they were forced to change their allegiance to the other Presbyterian Church to avoid unpleasantness in the house of God.' At some time after Lincoln's death they must have rejoined the First Presbyterian congregation, for the memorial to Edwards, who died in 1886, is there."
