Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The small jewel of a chapel to the right of the main church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and was given by the Hayward family in memory of Richard Hayward, first rector of Christ Church, and Lydia, his wife.

Above the altar is a round window depicting the Risen Christ, clothed in crimson and ascending through clouds into rays of sunlight. Originally over the altar of the old church, it was moved to the new church in 1926.

The altar is of carved oak. A triptych representing the nativity of Christ forms the chapel reredos. The center panel shows the Christ Child with his mother. On either side are shepherds come to worship him.

The triptych is contained in an oak frame. In a niche to the left stands the Virgin holding a Madonna lily, and to the right, St. Joseph holding a carpenter’s square.

Alice Hendee Price, a member of the parish and a well-known Bronxville artist, painted the triptych, which was dedicated in 1947.
