1961 technique: stained glass size: 90 cm (width) firm/studio: Celtic Studios Church of St Peter, Llandevaud, Newport north wall of the nave Text 'The Risen Light of Christ', 'I have set before you life and death, threfore choose life'. An arresting design. The risen Christ in glory, over a darkened world, contrasted in power with that of an atomic explosion (the mushroom cloud). Designed and made at a time of fear and uncertainty in international relations, it is a positive statement of the triumph of faith, hope and life.  (ObjectID=26 ImageID=445) Original File Name=_MG_0691.jpg
