Healing and Comfort

probably early twentieth century Two-light window, with the healing of the Caananite Woman's daughter, and Mary and Martha. Two angels below hold the text: 'He hath sent me to comfort all that mourn'. technique: stained glass size: 65 cm (width each light) firm/studio: probably Clayton & Bell Church of St Peter, Glasbury, Powys south wall of the nave The window is similar to the work of Clayton & Bell, and is by the same maker as the pair of windows depicting Ruth and Dorcas. Texts: 'Her daughter was made whole' (Matthew 15:23); 'Mary and her sister' (John 11:1). A window strangely lacking in drama. Matthew 15: 22-28 is somewhat serenely interpreted.  (ObjectID=314 ImageID=988) Original File Name=_MG_1919.jpg
