In celebration of our connection with earth, and part of Throop Church’s “Thirty Days for the Earth”, this hidden treasure walk will canvas Downtown Pasadena with the intention of discovering the stained glass treasures hidden in plain sight in the city.

Curator Everett Howe, intern minister at Throop Church, says:

This walk aims to deepen our connection to and care of earth through education, and action.

Visiting

The stained-glass window walk will include visits to the four Pasadena churches, with docents at each location giving context and history about the windows:

• Throop Unitarian Universalist Church
