Photographer note reads, "This parish is almost totally Spanish, as is Wilmington. The stain glass windows for the sacraments are in Spanish. Inside was total awareness of 'sacred space'". This stained glass window titled "Marriage" is located along one of the walls at Holy Family Catholic Church, located at 1011 East "L" Street and the corner of Sanford Ave. in the city of Wilmington.; Christians historically have regarded marriage as ordained by God for the lifelong union of a man and a woman, but other religions have broad teachings regarding marriage. Most Christian wedding ceremonies take place in churches, but it is not uncommon nowadays for the couple to choose a secular location in which to be married by clergy. Photo dated: September 2007.
