There are 12 windows on the south side, all created by Hugh Powell (1920-1994). Each window portrays a Disciple of the early Christian church. These windows are rich in symbol and biblical reference. The colours in these windows are deep because they receive the full exposure of the south sun.
St. Peter ~ "Thou art the Christ" ~ St. Peter is holding the Keys of the Kingdom. See his shame in the crowing of the rooster when he denied Jesus three times, and his question about his feet being washed by Jesus depicted in the window.
